The Garden

Perched in Darjeeling where the Rungeet and Rung Dung rivers flow, Glenburn was established in 1859 by a Scottish tea company and is now managed by the Prakash family of Chaiwalas.

Set under the watch of Mt Kanchenjunga, its heirloom China bushes and clonal varieties are hand plucked with meticulous care, embodying both tradition and quiet innovation.

From our Chief Tea Taster

Aroma

Fruity and Floral, layered with notes of fresh spring flowers, citrus zest, and delicate green nuances

Appearance

Light Gold

Taste

Lively and elegant, this spring Darjeeling opens with delicate fruity notes that gracefully evolve into a bouquet of fresh rose and orchid, leaving behind a gentle, natural sweetness.

Bright citrus nuances add a refreshing sparkle, while a smooth, silky texture carries through to a clean, lingering finish.

On the second steep, the cup unveils vibrant, raw-fruit accents, equally delightful when enjoyed over ice, offering a refined and uplifting experience.

YOU ASKED, WE ANSWERED

What is an Oolong tea?

A partially oxidized tea, oolong falls between green and black teas in flavor and appearance. Depending on how it's made, it can be light and floral or rich and complex.

How is Darjeeling Spring Oolong different from other Spring teas?

Unlike green or black spring teas, this oolong is gently oxidized—bringing together floral brightness and stone-fruit richness in one refined cup.

Can I use this tea for multiple infusions?

Yes! These spring leaves unfurl beautifully across multiple steeps. Expect evolving flavors with every cup—floral, fruity, and delicately complex.

Does this tea contain caffeine?

Yes, moderately. Oolong contains less caffeine than black tea but more than green—typically around 30–50 mg per cup.

Can I cold-steep this tea?

Absolutely. Cold steeping brings out a smoother, sweeter profile—perfect for sipping iced on a warm day.

How long will this tea stay fresh?

When stored well—away from light, heat, oxygen and moisture—it will retain peak freshness for up to 12 months. We recommend an airtight container kept in a cool, dry place.

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.

Really elegant oolong

"Really elegant oolong — soft, smooth, and beautifully balanced. It had delicate notes of lily and apricot. The tea pouch was intact but the outer carton was a bit squished during international shipping. Thankfully, the support team responded within a day and assured better handling next time. Worth it for the tea."

Absolutely in love with this tea!

"Absolutely in love with this tea! Light-bodied with such a graceful floral aroma and a subtle sweetness. Brewed it with care and it tasted like spring in a cup. I got a 15% discount, which made it even better. The packaging was neat, no complaints at all. Will reorder for sure!"

This is now my favorite Darjeeling oolong

"This is now my favorite Darjeeling oolong! So nuanced and calming — makes for a perfect afternoon brew. Used the GIFT15 code and was happy with the deal. There was a slight delay in dispatch, but support kept me updated. Their follow-up even after delivery was impressive."

It’s fresh, floral, and just the right touch of sweetness.

This Glenburn Moonshine Oolong is something special. It’s fresh, floral, and just the right touch of sweetness. I noticed the box was slightly damaged in transit, but the inner vacuum pouch kept the tea perfectly fine. I reported it and they offered a goodwill coupon. Great customer care!

wow, it did not disappoint

I tried this on a friend’s recommendation — and wow, it did not disappoint. The flavor is so gentle and clean. I got a small discount with a code. The courier misplaced the first package but Teabox promptly arranged a re-shipment. Impressed with the way they handled it.

Tea is delicate and smooth with floral undertones

Lovely experience. Tea is delicate and smooth with floral undertones, just as described. Shipment took a little longer than expected due to customs, but Teabox support helped me track everything. Packaging was minimal but protective. Would love a reusable tin option
