An approach to autumn flush 2015 Darjeeling teas 2015
The monsoon
harvest has finally ended in all of the tea gardens in Darjeeling and we are
all eagerly waiting for the fresh and new autumn flush 2015 Darjeeling teas to
arrive.
Like every
year, even this year the people of Darjeeling were in a festive mood since the “Dushera”
festival had started from the 13th of October and was celebrated
till the 23rd of October and we were all very busy celebrating this
festival.
Since we have continuously
tasted a lot of tea samples from about 45 plantations of Darjeeling year long
this year we got the hint of autumn flush harvest in some of the teas harvested
after the 23rd of October 2015. This has occurred since the climatic
conditions have changed a lot in Darjeeling after the “Dushera” festival. The
afternoon has been very sunny and warm but right after the sunset it gets
really cold as we move towards the night.
The climatic conditions
play a very vital role for this premium Darjeeling tea harvest . The
temperature difference between the day and the night should not be more than
9-12 degree Celsius. For a perfect autumn flush tea harvest the days should be
sunny and warm and the evening should be slightly cold. A perfect autumn flush Darjeeling
tea should have a dehydrated leaf appearance with fewer tips in it. The cup
should be golden orange in colour and the aroma of the tea should have a
matured sweet and dry pine leaf like character in it.
As mentioned
earlier we have restlessly tasted many tea samples everyday and we will procure
simply the best batches from different plantations of Darjeeling and we also
assure our entire tea lover friends around the world that only the best batches
will be offered as usual.
Till then, keep
sipping into the finest Darjeeling teas!
