Gopaldhara Gold Thor Fruity Muscatel (RTE-59) – Rare Hand Rolled Second Flush 2023 – Royal Series
₹ 615.00 / 50 gms paper box
Gopaldhara Gold (Thor) is one of the best second flush teas in the Darjeeling hills, made by AV2 bushes. The tea is extremely full and expertly fully oxidized to extract all the flavor. It takes a lot of different processes to oxidize, without crushing and cutting the leaf. Every time you crush and cut the leaf you introduce harshness to the cup. This tea is very clean with absolutely no hints of astringency and harshness. It is honey-sweet with a very well-rounded Muscatel finish and notes of ripe fruits. It has been the best lot in the second flush muscatel category.
It is 100% handpicked with no machinery involved. The garden workers are very careful in their plucking to make sure only the best shoots with prominent buds are plucked. The top elevation of Gopaldhara Tea Estate which stretches up to 5500-7000 Ft is planted with the best quality AV2 bushes, the most preferred clones in Darjeeling.
This Darjeeling muscatel tea is super fine to taste and has all the characteristics of a premium tea. It brews into a very bright orange and clear cup having a smooth fruity taste and muscatel character. The finish is long, honey-sweet & captivating. It is one of our finest second flush teas and a must-try for every summer tea lover. With all these qualities it definitely qualifies to be named as the King of Teas.

Tastes almost similar to my favourite 2021 Frosted Winter Ruby minus the slightly harsh wintery taste, absolute delight of a morning cup is this, hopefully all batches of Thor will taste the same this year,
Full leaves, notes of plum , red wine with typical AV2 clonal taste is there. Brings out the Muscatel taste if steeped in small qty (for 1 cup) for around 5 mints
