2nd Flush Darjeeling

BLACK TEA

13 reviews

The second flush of Darjeeling tea begins high in the Himalayan foothills in late May and lasts about 45 days. Around this time, tea gardens produce teas of wonderfully complex flavors of butter, nuts, flowers and fruits with balanced astringency and a sweet toasty finish. Teas produced during this period have a fuller flavor than teas from first flush.

Tasting Notes:

Muscatel grape, burnt sugar, cedar

10/10 Darjeeling

I love this Darjeeling - it’s the best match to the Darjeeling that I get from a Himalayan cafe in NYC that imports theirs from Nepal itself. The full-bodied flavor is so rich and delicious, I tend to use quite a lot of leaves for just one cup as I can’t get enough of it!! Just like another review said, I also think it’s the perfect Darjeeling. Well done!!

2nd Flush Darjeeling

Indian Black Tea

Darjeeling, once a British hill station, is known for producing some of the world’s most prized and expensive teas. The high elevation of Darjeeling tea gardens puts stress on the bushes and results in teas of exceptionally nuanced flavor. Teas produced during this period have fuller flavor than teas from the first flush, with notes of muscatel grape, burnt sugar and cedar.

Darjeeling

Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas in northern India, the Darjeeling region is home to 87 tea gardens. Second flush begins in early May and lasts for about 30 days, where the tea bushes are plucked every seven days.
