Arrival of Autumn Flush 2012 Darjeeling teas






        The autumn flush Darjeeling tea harvest started from the 2nd week of October 2012 this year. We started tasting a lot of tea samples from various different plantations in Darjeeling from the very moment when the major harvest had started .The initial batches or the pre-autumn flush tea batches that were produced were as usual fairly nice in quality and quantity but all of a sudden the temperature in Darjeeling started falling and due to which we had a draught like situation in all the gardens in Darjeeling. This resulted in fall of production of high quality in bigger quantities in most of the plantations.
           We have been really lucky to be in Darjeeling and select our list of fine Autumn Flush 2012 Darjeeling teas. We have strictly concentrated in this harvest in teas which have a rich flavour and taste and above all since we have offered some of the finest quality teas during the 1st and the 2nd flush harvests, we have done the same during this harvest but at a very reasonable rates. We have announced the following teas from the various plantations in our list of Autumn Flush 2012 Darjeeling teas given below:
