Jungpana is a legendary tea estate in the Darjeeling hills, known for producing some of the finest muscatel teas in the world. The muscatel character — that distinctive grape-wine flavour — is the holy grail of Darjeeling tea, and Jungpana consistently delivers it at the highest level.
This second flush Darjeeling from Jungpana captures the estate’s signature flavour profile: a medium-bodied black tea with unmistakable muscatel grape notes, a floral aroma, and a clean, lingering finish. Second flush (May–June) is when Darjeeling produces its most characterful teas — the warmer weather intensifies the muscatel development in the leaves.
For Darjeeling enthusiasts, Jungpana Muscatel is a must-try. It represents the pinnacle of what the Darjeeling terroir can achieve. For newcomers, it is the perfect introduction to why Darjeeling is called the Champagne of Teas — one cup of genuine Jungpana muscatel, and you understand immediately.
At ₹350 for 100 grams, this is remarkably accessible for a tea of this calibre. Single-estate Darjeeling muscatel from a legendary garden at this price point is rare — we keep it affordable through direct sourcing without middlemen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes Jungpana tea special?
A: Jungpana is a legendary Darjeeling estate known for producing the most pronounced muscatel character in its teas. The estate’s specific microclimate, altitude, and generations of processing expertise create a grape-wine flavour that is naturally present in the tea — no flavouring added.
Q: What is muscatel flavour in tea?
A: Muscatel is a naturally occurring grape-wine flavour that develops in premium Darjeeling teas during the second flush season (May–June). It is named after the Muscat grape, which has a similar flavour profile. Not all Darjeeling teas have muscatel character — it requires specific terroir and processing conditions.
Q: Can I drink this with milk?
A: We strongly recommend drinking Jungpana Muscatel plain. Adding milk would completely overwhelm the delicate muscatel notes that make this tea special. If you prefer milk tea, our Assam CTC range is a much better choice.
Q: Is this tea available year-round?
A: Jungpana Muscatel is a second flush tea (May–June harvest). We source each year’s production directly from the estate. Once the current batch is sold out, it is replaced by the next year’s harvest. Availability may be limited during the transition between harvests.
