Dooars: while Darjeeling is up in the western Himalayan foothills the Dooars are the floodplains and foothills region of the eastern Himalayas in North-East India between the Brahmaputra River and Bhutan.
Putharjhora Tea Estate is a small organic garden at an elevation of 170-350 meters; annual rainfall is up to 4,000 mm; it has had organic status since 2004. Production is CTC but the garden has recently diversified into orthodox processing.
Leaf: attractive dark brown, green and silver tip mix, hard withered in Darjeeling style.
Infusion – visual: slightly broken, mixed green and bronze
Infusion – aroma: very attractive distinct fragrance reminiscent of a first flush Darjeeling.
Liquor – visual: bright and clear, pale peachy amber colour
Liquor – taste: light, dry and crisp with a distinct Darjeeling character
Summary: this tea is a conundrum that is well worth studying - an excellent organically grown first flush tea with a distinct and elegant Darjeeling character – yet it breaks all the conventional rules by being produced at a low elevation.

Very fine, interesting tea.
This is very interesting tea, comparable to first flush Darjeeling (but not second flush). Pleasure to drink.
*First impressions on opening tea pouch- mixture of green and brown leaves. Fresh, fragrant aroma - not persistent.
*In the cup-light yellow/green colour, aroma same as above.
"Taste-very delicate, fresh fragrant tea. To me, the taste hints of caramel or at times even beer.
Summary - Very interesting tea and a pleasure to drink.
