Darjeeling Second Flush Pussimbing DJ58

Pussimbing is a classic Darjeeling tea estate with a history spanning more than a century. Nestled among wilderness where river streams and natural springs flow, its tea gardens are shrouded in high mountain mists throughout the year. The estate consistently produces some of Darjeeling's most prestigious organic teas from its steep, sloping valley gardens and has been certified organic since 1994.

The estate's rich biodiversity and healthy soil structure nourish bold, aromatic teas that express the unique character of each harvest. Some vintages reveal rich muscatel sweetness and ripeness, while others are distinguished by the minty, spicy notes that define many of Pussimbing's second flush teas.

According to local legend, a monk named Pasang discovered abundant natural springs and tea in the area. In the local Lepcha language, Pussimbing means "the source of water." The place where the monk found the spring was called Mingoo, meaning "valley hidden in the fog." Today, Mingoo remains one of the estate's most renowned garden divisions.

Pussimbing Estate is located in Darjeeling's Tiger Hill region, where panoramic views of Mount Everest and Mount Kanchenjunga rise above the tea gardens. The estate's high-elevation terroir imparts a vibrant mountain energy and unmistakable character to every cup.
