An Approach to 2nd flush 2021 Darjeeling teas

       The 2nd flush harvest is one of the most important harvest for the Darjeeling tea industry since some of the most high quality and expensive darjeeling teas are produced during this season.This harvest usually starts from the last week of May and goes up to the last weeks of June before the monsoons sets in.The world famous muscatel flavour gets prominent in most of the teas produced during this harvest.In one word the world famous classic Darjeeling muscatel teas are produced during this harvest.The character of these teas are very unique than any other harvest.The dry leaves are usually coppery/dark brown/burgundy in appearance,the flavours are much more heavier and rich and the taste is more distinct too.

     Well these are the basic characteristics of 2nd flush but it all depends on the climatic and soil conditions too. Like in this year we saw a very unpredictable climatic conditions.It suddenly started raining in Darjeeling for continious 9 days during the mid weeks of June when it was the main time for harvesting the premium teas.So,it was really difficult for both the gardens and us to make and procure the right 2nd flush teas.We believe we have taste more teas than previous years to choose only the top quality teas this year but as usual we have selected only the best batches.Though it was extremely difficult due to the situation but we had to complete the list of the best 2nd flush teas.Our only focus in this season was to taste and procure the classic muscatel 2nd flush darjeeling teas so we did not focus on other speciality teas like the oolong,whites and green darjeeling teas in this season,as we all know the world famous muscatel character only comes in this season and once we miss it we ll not have the teas till next year again.

     We have tried our best to procure the true and the best 2nd flush 2021 muscatel teas and create a list of it on our website.We invite all tea lovers to order these fine quality teas and as usual we guarantee the highest quality standards for all our teas.

An approach to 2nd flush 2016 Darjeeling tea 2016:

An approach to 2^nd flush 2016 Darjeeling tea 2016:

    We had a fantastic 1^st flush 2016 harvest in Darjeeling this year. The overall spring season was fruitful to all involved in the Darjeeling tea industry. We were able to see some of the finest Darjeeling teas produced from the young clonal tea leaves and some high quality classic Darjeeling teas made from the pure china leaves.

    This year the pure 1^st flush 2016 harvest started from the 1^st week of March 2016 and lasted till the 2^nd week of April. Almost all the gardens in Darjeeling are going through the dormant period at the moment and only few gardens in Darjeeling are getting a slight hint of the 2^nd flush harvest in their teas at the moment but we cannot call this a pure 2^nd flush character. The most important factors in the 2^nd flush harvest are the right climatic conditions and soil conditions. It should not rain during the peak time of this harvest as the best 2^nd flush Darjeeling teas are made from the most carefully plucked dehydrated leaves and shoots.

        Darjeeling tea is known for its Muscatel character which is most pronounced in each of the teas in 2^nd flush harvest. Tea lover all around the world compare this character with the Muscat grapes and wine. A perfect muscatel Darjeeling tea is made from pure china leaves. A perfect cup of Darjeeling 2^nd flush Muscatel tea should have golden orange liquor; the aroma should be heavy, filled with hints of freshly made chocolates, ripe peaches and dry fruits. Every sip should have an in-depth taste of exotic ripe fruits with a lingering sweet aftertaste. It is also very difficult to make a perfect batch of 2^nd flush Darjeeling tea as the peak time of this harvest only lasts for about 10-15 days. During this period of time a good tea maker has to choose and pluck the right leaves and fine tune his tea making skills to make the perfect tea. Once this peak time passes then the monsoon sets in and then it is impossible to make a perfect batch of 2^nd flush muscatel Darjeeling tea.

    We have been tasting a lot of samples from various garden of Darjeeling and we have also tasted tea samples from early 2^nd flush making gardens in Darjeeling like the Namring , Risheehat, Selimbong and Singell tea estates of Darjeeling and we feel that the perfect 2^nd flush 2016 Darjeeling teas will only start from the 2^nd week of June onwards.

      As usual we have planned only to procure the finest quality Darjeeling teas and this year we will concentrate more on the teas made from pure china leaves as we will offer more of the classic muscatel Darjeeling teas and few high quality clonal Darjeeling teas during the  2^nd flush 2016 Darjeeling tea harvest.

An approach to 2^nd flush 2015 Darjeeling teas.

    

The spring harvest or the 1^st flush 2015 Darjeeling tea harvest has just ended in all the gardens of Darjeeling. After almost 4 years we had a very good spring harvest this year as all the gardens of Darjeeling received a very good amount of rainfall this year. All the gardens of Darjeeling are going through the “banjee”period or the dormant period at this point of time and we are all looking forward to the 2^nd flush 2015 Darjeeling tea harvest.

     The 2^nd flush harvest is one of the most important harvest period for all the gardens in Darjeeling as this premium harvest lasts for only 12-15 days and it is very important for the tea makers to choose the right tea leaves during the right time during this harvest as the most important factors for perfect 2^nd flush Darjeeling teas are soil and climatic conditions.

    Darjeeling tea is particularly known for its unique muscatel character and this character is pronounced in almost all the Darjeeling teas during this harvest. The “Muscatel” is a character which is often compared with the Muscat wine or Muscat grapes and tea experts around the world claim that this character is found in Darjeeling teas during the 2^nd flush harvest. The best Muscatel Darjeeling teas are made from pure “china” bushes and the shoots and leaves during this harvest should be in an extremely dry/ dehydrated condition.

    A perfect 2^nd flush tea should be brown/ coppery in appearance filled with golden shoots or buds, the liquor should be golden orange in appearance, the aroma should have hints of chocolates, slightly spicy and each sip should be rich in taste with sweetness and no astringency at all.

    We have already started tasting the samples from various plantations of Darjeeling and we think it is still very early for the perfect 2^nd flush 2015 teas to arrive. We predict extremely good 2^nd flush teas will start coming in from 15th of June 2015 onwards and anything before that will be a pre- 2^nd flush tea.

     As usual we will do our best to procure the finest teas and will inform all our tea lover friends around the world once we complete our list of 2^nd flush 2015 Darjeeling teas.
