Created in 2006 by Mr. DB Gurung, the Castleton factory manager with an experience of 35+ years, the specialty tea with a resonance of oak and vanilla develops a velvety body of ephemeral orchids and a fantastic finish of tendrils.
Castleton Moonlight Tea:
Castleton Moonlight is a special and rare second flush black tea harvested exclusively during the moonlit nights. It is an artisanal tea that reflects the care and meticulous attention paid to the quality of the leaves. The name "Moonlight" comes from the tradition of plucking tea leaves under the moonlight, a practice that is said to enhance the flavor and aroma of the tea, ensuring only the most tender leaves are selected.
Moonlight Harvesting:
Hand-Picking under Moonlight: The leaves for Castleton Moonlight are picked at night, often under the light of the moon. The cooler night air and the absence of the sun help preserve the delicate compounds in the tea leaves. Tea pluckers select only the finest tender buds and young leaves, which are crucial for the unique flavor profile of the Moonlight tea.
Seasonal Timing: The second flush is the perfect time for Moonlight plucking as the tea leaves have matured and developed full flavor, but not too long to become overly bitter. The moonlit plucking enhances the process, ensuring that the leaves retain all their natural oils and delicate aromas.
