Tankha

Indian Oolong Tea, Phoobsering Estate, Darjeeling

A Tankha is a Tibetan Buddhist tapestry. An appropriate name, considering the rich tapestry of flavors found in this remarkable oolong tea. Phoobsering is one of the oldest tea plantations in Darjeeling. Produced at about 6,000 feet, our high-grown Tankha oolong tea is medium-bodied with floral notes and a complex flavor. The liquor is bright and golden, and subtle hints of tropical fruit, sweetness, and a faint woodiness can be detected. India may not be known for its oolongs, but of late they have been showing signs of perfecting the art. Enjoy Tankha hot or iced.

Phoobsering Estate is currently under conversion to organic and will be Certified Bio-Organic in 2010.

My favorite tea

Tankha has beaten out all the other teas I buy online. I''''ve been drinking loose teas for the past 4 years, and this is my favorite. By Far!!! I would recommend making sure your water is not hot. When it is warm (but not lukewarm), the tea tastes really sweet.

Great tea

Tankha is highly recommended - light and almost sweet for an oolong. I've tried Phoobsering teas before - they are all good, but this is one of my favorites. 5 stars.
