Description

For those who prefer organic, this second flush Darjeeling (FTGF) is a wonderful choice. Very aromatic with sweet, fruity, muscatel notes, we found it to be smooth but certainly not boring. Pairs well with most meals! Well balanced and highly likable, a great everyday tea at a great price!

Most valued Darjeeling tea gardens are located along the sloping hills and valleys of the Himalayan Mountains in Northern India. The high altitude � ranging in elevation between 3000 and 6500 ft - makes the tea leaves special. Here, the tea makers' art is said to be comparable with the art of wine making. Known as the �Champagne of tea", when properly brewed it yields a thin-bodied, light-colored liquor with a floral aroma a tinge of astringent tannic characteristics, and a musky spiciness often referred to by tea connoisseurs as "muscatel."

***1st Flush is harvested in mid-March following spring rains, it has a gentle and very light color and aroma.

***2nd Flush is harvested in June and produces an amber and more astringent cup.

***Autumnal Flush is harvested in the autumn after the rainy season, and has a somewhat less delicate flavour and less spicy tones.
