Darjeeling Estate Tea is a second flush black tea with a well developed flavour, sweet and smooth. When compared to a first flush, the brew is slightly darker and the tea’s flavour is deeper.
2nd Flush Darjeeling is slightly darker, with more intense flavour, than 1st Flush. It is beloved for its distinctive muscatel note.
Grown in the northeast corner of India, among the foot hills of the Himalayan mountains, Darjeeling is a highly sought, coveted black tea.
Graded as FTGFOP1: second flush season.
It is the combination of high mountains, steep terrains, well-drained soils, extreme cold and intense heat, as well as a good level of rainfall that contribute to the exquisite muscatel character and floral aroma of Darjeeling teas.
Ingredients: Black tea (Darjeeling)

1.25 tsp for 250mL water 95C, steeped 4 minutes, drunk bare.
Dry leaf: brown flecked with some green and a few twigs. Aroma: winey wood.
Wet leaf: the green leaves brghten and open up fast — very pretty. Aroma: tannins, wet earth.
Liquor: medium brown, a bit darker than I expected.
Full and classic Darjeeing taste with a good body. I prefer a second flush, so I’m quite happy here. Lots of muscatel, and a slight bite back, almost like the pepper in some Yunnans.
