The Garden

Nestled in the hills of Darjeeling, Jungpana's name honors Jung Bahadur, a Gorkha guide whose loyalty became local legend. Established in 1899 by Henry Montgomery Lennox.

Perched at 4,000 to 4,500 feet in the Kurseong Valley, its heritage china bushes yield remarkable clarity, and the estate remains celebrated for its prized summer muscatel lots.

Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster

Aroma

A lively interplay of stone-fruit and cedar, gently rounded by soft nutty undertones

Appearance

Bright Orange

Taste

A medium-bodied, mellow cup that opens with bright stone-fruity sweetness that carries through the length of the sip.

Subtle nutty nuances and light cedar notes reveal themselves toward the finish, settling into a lingering and comforting aftertaste. A distinguished expression of Jungpana’s celebrated Autumn Harvest.

YOU ASKED, WE ANSWERED

What is Autumn Flush?

The Autumn Flush is the final major harvest season in Darjeeling, occurring from mid-October to late November. It begins once the monsoon withdraws from the hills and temperatures start to drop, producing leaves with a distinct seasonal character.

How is Autumn Flush different from First and Second Flush teas?

Autumn teas are smoother and more rounded, without the bright astringency of First Flush or the muscatel sharpness of Second Flush. They lean toward fruity, nutty, and warm notes rather than floral or high-toned flavors.

What do you mean by Chinary Black Tea?

“Chinary” refers to the original China variety of the tea plant—Camellia sinensis var. sinensis. Autumn Chinary black teas reflect the influence of cooler temperatures and mature leaves, resulting in a well-balanced cup with nutty-woody notes and subtle hints of fruit or florals. They are prized for their clarity and depth.

Is this tea caffeine-free?

No. Like all black teas, it contains caffeine—though the levels may be slightly lower compared to some stronger black teas.

Can I add milk and sugar to this tea?

Yes—as with most black teas, this depends on personal preference. While Autumn teas are typically enjoyed plain to appreciate their layered flavors, adding milk or sugar is entirely a matter of taste.

How should I store this tea for optimal freshness?

Store them in an airtight, opaque container away from light, heat, and humidity. Their delicate aromatic compounds—especially the fruity and nutty notes—retain their character best when protected from fluctuating temperatures.

Are these teas sustainably sourced?

Yes! At Teabox, we are committed to sourcing teas from renowned estates that uphold ethical and sustainable practices. Our teas come from gardens that prioritize environmental responsibility and fair labor practices, ensuring both quality and social impact.

By choosing Teabox, you support a tea culture rooted in sustainability and care—for the land, the people, and your cup.

Fantastic

I feel as though I’ve been introduced to a new beverage. Who knew that tea could taste so fresh. Lovely clear colour and a smooth flavour with no hint of bitterness.

It really does make a difference!

This tea is excellent.

Fantastic quality and freshness

Excellent tea .

Excellent tea .

The very aroma of darjeeling

The very aroma of darjeeling tea is present in this variety. A morning cup of tea will please you.

Unique depth of taste in classic Autumn black tea

This particular brand of Jungpana classic black tea is really good with it's subtle aroma and depth of the Darjeeling black tea,it is quite refreshing, especially in the morning.

light and smooth

one of the light black teas which is smooth and round depth profile. slightly woody but less tannins feel.

a classic Darjeeling

This is a slightly different flavour profile than I am used to drinking but it is a welcome change. I have been drinking it in the morning but I am sure it would be fine any time of day.

Great tea for rainy days

Imagine yourself at home with a nice hot cup of tea when it is cold and raining outside: this is why Jungpana Autumn is for! Woody and smooth, it is not the most complex tea, but it will make you feel good. My personal taste: with a chocolat square.

Outstanding, rich and complex

Beautiful example of an Autumn flush Darjeeling. I like to brew this Gong Fu style, with multiple short steeps (about 30 seconds each) to bring out the different layers of flavour.
On the first brew there's a prominent chocolate aroma, with a sweet floral note that reminds me of carnations. Second brew brings a mouth-filling blast of finely textured tannins, along with some earthiness. On the third and subsequent brews there's a hint of wintergreen, and a fruitiness like dried strawberries. Very complex!

Excellent tea

This is a very good, fresh, subtle tea, certainly one of the more satisfying that I have tried.

top tea from my favourite garden

Ahhh. Jungpana. My favourite, always.

Absolute favorite tea.

After trying every single darjeeling variety offered by Teabox, I have finally finished every last one. Being a fan of the Autumn flushes, Jungpana gives the perfect robust blend they are known for. This is my mainstay, and I highly suggest it to anyone who enjoys tea.

smooth and aromatic

simply heavenly :)

Excellent

This is my favorite black tea from Teabox so far. It has a very fresh taste and it also is a black tea so there is a little bit higher level of caffeine then other types of tea.
I like to drink this in the morning as a pick me up. The flavor of the tea is very nice and it is has a superior mouth feel that makes drinking it such a joy.

elegant third flush Darjeeling

This has the elegant muscatel profile of a traditional high-quality Darjeeling with the addition of the deeper third flush body and resistance to astringency. I don't know the Earl, but I think he would like this one too.

Excellent delicate muscatel flavour

Superb delicate muscatel character with slight fermented overtones. Deliciously fresh

Just perfect!

The quintessential Autumn flush! Spicy (cinnamon, cardamom, cedar, dark chocolate), floral (rose), stone fruit and plum flavours blend in a perfect harmony. Bold, round, and sweet, this tea is a delight from the opening of the pack to the aftertaste. Relaxing and quite light in caffeine (not in flavour), this is tea is not to be missed!
