An Approach to Autumn flush 2016 Darjeeling teas:
The last
and the much awaited harvest in the Darjeeling tea industry is the Autumn flush
harvest. After 4 long months of rains we will finally get to taste some fine
and high flavour Darjeeling teas from the various plantations of Darjeeling. During
the monsoon period the teas produced in Darjeeling gives a strong cup with less
flavour.
The Autumn
flush harvest lasts for a very small frame of time as it starts as soon as the monsoons
are over and the tea bushes starts getting continuous sunshine and high
climatic temperature during the day time and cold climatic conditions during
the night. For a perfect autumn flush harvest the day and night temperature
difference should not be more than 9-12 degrees Celsius. A perfect Autumn flush
Darjeeling tea should have a dehydrated look in the dry leaf state, it should
have a dark brownish dry leaf appearance. The cup should give out a bright
orange liquor ,with a chocolate like flavour and each sip should be very fruity
floral with clear hints of dry winter leaves
like smell that we usually get in the forests during the winters.
This year it
seems that the Autumn flush Darjeeling tea harvest is slightly late as it
rained very heavily during the early weeks of October and in November we are
finally getting some very sunny days. We are expecting very good Autumn flush Darjeeling
teas this year and right after the Diwali holidays (from the 1st
week of November) are over, we are expecting the Autumn flush harvest to start,
we are continuously tasting the samples of Darjeeling teas from various
plantations of Darjeeling and as usual we will select only the best Darjeeling teas.
