What makes Darjeeling tea so special?
Darjeeling tea is known for its exceptional quality and unique aroma. It is grown in the Darjeeling hills in northeast India, where the unique climate and altitude give the tea leaves a distinctive flavor. The characteristic features of Darjeeling tea are its delicate, often floral aroma, its light color and its unmistakable, slightly muscat flavor.
The different flushes of Darjeeling tea
Darjeeling tea is produced in several "flushes" or harvest seasons, with each flush having its own character:
- The First Flush is harvested in spring and is known for its light, fresh taste.
- The Second Flush follows in summer and offers a fuller, richer taste.
- The Autumnal Flush is harvested in autumn and is characterized by its stronger, spicier aromas.
