About the Garden


Established in 1899 by British planter Henry Montgomery Lennox, Goomtee Tea Estate is located in the Kurseong region of Darjeeling. The estate extends across approximately 225 hectares, with over 110 hectares devoted to tea cultivation. Its gardens rise from around 3,000 to 6,000 feet, creating varied growing conditions that contribute to the distinctive character of its teas. Goomtee is recognised for organic cultivation and traditional orthodox production, with China tea bushes forming an important part of its plantations. The estate produces refined First Flush and Second Flush teas, including selections admired for their floral brightness, ripe fruit notes and muscatel depth. Cool temperatures, mist-covered slopes and careful leaf handling support the development of elegant aroma and flavour. A restored century-old British planter’s bungalow also reflects the garden’s legacy. With more than 125 years of heritage, Goomtee remains respected for producing expressive, origin-led Darjeeling teas with clarity, balance and seasonal distinction.

Product Details

Goomtee FTGFOP1 Muscatel is a premium Second Flush Darjeeling tea celebrated for its ripe fruit character and refined muscatel depth. The carefully crafted whole leaves display dark brown, copper and olive shades, enriched by occasional golden tips. Their dry aroma reveals warm honey, dried fruit, gentle florals and subtle woody spice. Once infused, the leaves produce a bright coppery amber liquor with an inviting fragrance and smooth texture. The palate opens with natural honeyed sweetness, followed by notes of ripe grapes, stone fruit and delicate spice. A balanced briskness gives the cup structure, while its clean muscatel finish remains pleasantly lingering. Rich without becoming heavy, this orthodox loose leaf tea offers an elegant expression of the summer harvest. ChaiChun presents Goomtee Muscatel for first-time premium tea buyers and seasoned enthusiasts seeking an aromatic Darjeeling tea with distinctive origin, graceful complexity and a memorable flavour that rewards every thoughtful sip.

For Individual Customers

Goomtee Muscatel brings together fine FTGFOP1 whole leaves and the rich character associated with the Second Flush season. Its flavour moves beyond ordinary black tea, offering ripe fruit, warm honey, gentle spice and a distinctive muscatel finish. The cup has enough depth to feel satisfying while remaining smooth and refined. Chai Chun presents this tea for customers who want to understand why premium Darjeeling orthodox teas are appreciated for their origin, seasonal personality and changing layers of aroma and flavour.

Muscatel is a naturally developed flavour associated with select Second Flush Darjeeling teas. It is often recognised through notes resembling ripe grapes, stone fruit, honey and gentle spice. It is not an added flavouring but part of the tea’s seasonal character and craftsmanship. In Goomtee Muscatel, this quality appears as a rounded fruity richness followed by a clean, lingering finish. It gives first-time buyers an opportunity to taste one of the most distinctive characteristics for which premium Darjeeling tea is internationally admired.

Yes. Its ripe fruit and honeyed notes are easy to recognise, making Goomtee Muscatel approachable for customers buying premium loose leaf tea for the first time. The cup feels richer than a light First Flush tea but remains smoother and more aromatic than many strong everyday black teas. It provides a clear introduction to the character of Second Flush Darjeeling tea without feeling overly complex. Chai Chun makes this selection suitable for curious buyers who want a noticeable and rewarding upgrade from regular tea.

Orthodox tea is crafted to preserve more of the leaf’s natural shape, aroma and individual character. Regular tea is often chosen mainly for quick colour and strength, while Goomtee Muscatel offers fragrance, clarity, texture and several layers of flavour. Its visible whole leaves and golden tips reveal quality before the tea is tasted. Chai Chun’s orthodox collection allows customers to compare distinctive gardens, seasonal harvests and flavour profiles, turning tea selection into a more informed and personal choice rather than an everyday routine.

Chai Chun carefully selects premium Darjeeling teas according to their origin, leaf quality, season and cup character. Goomtee FTGFOP1 Muscatel is presented for its attractive whole leaves, bright amber liquor and balanced combination of ripe fruit, honey, spice and muscatel depth. Clear descriptions help customers choose according to the flavours they genuinely enjoy. Whether purchased for personal enjoyment, a growing loose leaf collection or sophisticated gifting, this tea reflects Chai Chun’s commitment to authentic sourcing, freshness, variety and carefully packed quality.
