Darjeeling Second Flush - The Muscatel Majesty

Bathed in the golden sun of early summer, our Darjeeling Second Flush represents black tea at its most expressive. These leaves—plucked in May-June after the spring rains—develop an intense amber hue, full-bodied richness, and the signature muscatel flavor that defines world-class Darjeeling.

Ingredients

Black Tea

Brewing Instructions

• Water Temp: 200°F (93°C)
• Steep Time: 3-4 minutes (4+ minutes for malty boldness)
• Tea Quantity: 1–2 teaspoons(2gm)
• Water: 200 ml

Pro Techniques:

• Preheat your teapot for optimal flavor release
• Try "grandpa style" brewing—leaves in cup, adding water as you sip
• Observe how the muscatel notes evolve as it cools

Key Distinctions – A Seasonal Masterpiece

• Legendary Muscatel Notes – Natural grape-like sweetness prized by connoisseurs
• Deeper Complexity – Richer than First Flush, with hints of caramel and stone fruit
• Perfect Balance – Robust enough for milk, yet nuanced enough to enjoy plain
• Single-Estate Pedigree – Sourced from heritage Himalayan gardens
• Antioxidant-Rich – Theaflavins support heart health
• 
  

Perfect For

• Afternoon Indulgence – Pairs beautifully with scones or dark chocolate
• Morning Awakening – More robust than First Flush for coffee converts
• Cheese Pairings – Complements aged cheddar and manchego
• Gifting Sophisticates – The gold standard of tea gifting
• Dessert Tea – Naturally sweet enough to replace post-dinner sweets

Why This Blend Stands Out

• Only 6-Week Harvest Window – Captures peak leaf maturity
• Distinct Terroir – Each garden produces unique flavor profiles
• Aging Potential – Develops deeper honey notes over 1-2 years
