Teabox Darjeeling Jungpana Autumn Chinary Black

Description

:

• Nestled in the rugged beauty of Kurseong Valley, Jungpana tea estate is steeped in history and legend.
• Its name honors Jung Bahadur, a loyal Gurkha who, in the early 20th century, defended his British master against a leopard and took his final sip from a nearby stream, forever immortalizing the spot as ‘Jungpana.’
• Founded in 1899 by Mr. Henry Montgomery Lennox, the estate flourished under various custodians, including the ruling Rana of Nepal.
• Perched at 4,500 feet, its sun-kissed, south-facing slopes nurture tea bushes that yield some of Darjeeling’s most exquisite flavors.
• Accessible only by a wooden bridge and over 600 steps, Jungpana is as challenging to reach as it is rewarding to taste.
• Now managed by the Mayfair Group, Jungpana remains a beacon of excellence, producing sought-after muscatels and carrying forward Darjeeling’s rich tea heritage.
• Surrounded by iconic estates like Goomtee, Sivitar, and Mahaldiram, Jungpana stands as a symbol of resilience and quality in the world of fine, Single Origin teas.
