Jungpana First Flush Moonlight
Jungpana Estate, Darjeeling
Plucked at dawn, processed with care—this first flush from Jungpana has an almost ethereal, moonlit quality.
The Story
Jungpana is a small estate that punches well above its weight, producing some of Darjeeling's most refined first flush teas. Their 'Moonlight' lot uses leaves picked in the very early morning hours, processed with minimal oxidation to retain brightness. The result is a tea that bridges the gap between green and black—extraordinarily delicate, floral, and luminous. Jungpana's elevation and aspect create a specific microclimate that's ideal for these ethereal spring teas.

Brewing Tips
This tea is more delicate than typical Darjeeling—treat it almost like a white tea. Lower temperature, shorter steeps. Watch the leaves unfurl; they're beautiful. The color should be pale gold, not amber.
