Phuguri produces one of the "finest clonal" teas in Darjeeling district. Young bushes flush during the month of April with juicy young leaves, the magic begins with the tender touch of the lady pluckers who pluck "two leaves and a bud" with care, attention and love. The heavenly aroma of this particular Darjeeling tea lingers for long inside the mouth. Over a span of five years, the unmatched "Tippy Clonal" has gained fame all over the world. Our decades of experience have taught us to harvest the leaf at the right stage (because even a delay of one day could hamper the tea quality) and identify the optimum time in which the best character of the bush is fully expressed.Our decades of experience have taught us to harvest the leaf at the right stage (because even a delay of one day could hamper the tea quality) and identify the optimum time in which the best character of the bush is fully expressed.
We take special care during the storage and transportation of the harvested green leaves as they are extremely tender and can easily be damaged by improper handling, bacteria and heat.We take special care during the storage and transportation of the harvested green leaves as they are extremely tender and can easily be damaged by improper handling, bacteria and heat.
A final prepack backing is also done to remove excess moisture present in the tea leaves which significantly enhances shelf life and encourages the tea flavour to mature over a period of time as in the case of fine wines.
Moreover, in order to maintain the final product as "authentic" as possible, we still use the original old machines which cost more to run but preserves the original Darjeeling character better.
