Description
Why Tea Lovers Covet This Harvest:
Bathed in the golden sun of early summer, our Darjeeling Second Flush represents black tea at its most expressive. These leaves—plucked in May-June after the spring rains—develop an intense amber hue, full-bodied richness, and the signature muscatel flavor that defines world-class Darjeeling.
