Autumn flush 2012 Darjeeling teas
The autumn flush Darjeeling
tea harvest is one of the most eagerly awaited harvests of the year in the
Darjeeling tea industry. This premium harvest will start from the November 1st
week of this year and we predict it will end by December 1st week as
it is getting very cold in Darjeeling every day from the 2nd week of
October 2012. The best autumn flush teas are harvest when the day and night
temperature difference is about 10-11 degrees Celsius. The current temperature
of Darjeeling is about 17 -19 degrees Celsius during the day and 10-11 degrees
Celsius during the night.
The autumn
flush Darjeeling tea harvest is done after the 3 months of monsoon harvest in Darjeeling.
During the monsoons the produced quantity of Darjeeling tea is high but the
quality is not very high compared to the 1st and the 2nd
flush harvests. So tea lovers and producers of Darjeeling tea eagerly await the
arrival of this premium tea harvest.
The dry leafs
of the pure autumn teas does not have a very attractive ornamental look like
the 1st and 2nd flush teas. The cup gives out very bright
yellow liquor and the aroma is much matured and most of the teas during this
harvest have a very unique woody and pine like aroma.
We have already started
to taste a lot of teas from various plantations in Darjeeling and we will offer
the finest autumn flush Darjeeling teas as usual as soon as we receive the
perfect teas.
