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.
