Darjeeling Thurbo Spring Moonlight White
Tucked away in the tranquil folds of Darjeeling’s Mirik Valley, Thurbo Tea Estate has been crafting exquisite teas since 1872. Its name, believed to originate from the Nepali word “Tombu” (meaning tent), is a nod to its colonial past, when British forces encamped here during their campaign against Nepal. Today, it stands as one of Darjeeling’s most iconic gardens—rich in legacy and rooted in tradition.
Spread across rolling hills at altitudes ranging from 980 to 1890 meters, Thurbo is flanked by the Mechi and Rangbang rivers, and enjoys breathtaking views of the Kanchenjunga range. This unique terroir—shaped by high elevation, river-fed soils, and cool mountain breezes—imbues its teas with remarkable clarity, aroma, and complexity. The estate’s environment creates the perfect balance of sunlight and mist, essential for nurturing the delicate Spring leaves that define Darjeeling’s finest harvests.
Beyond its scenic beauty, Thurbo is a place of precision and quiet dedication. Generations of skilled workers tend to its heritage China bushes and select clonal varieties, preserving artisanal techniques while embracing sustainability. With a reputation for producing teas that reflect the very soul of the region, Thurbo remains a timeless emblem of Darjeeling’s highland charm and craftsmanship.
