This amber brew, characterized by its purple-brown mature leaves from the June harvest, captivates the senses with its distinctive musky spiciness, often referred to as ‘muscatel.’ The period from early summer to the monsoon marks the season for the second flush or second harvest. The leaves, dark in hue and exuding a floral fragrance, possess a vibrant character, soaking up ample rainwater and maturing throughout the monsoon. As they age, their aroma intensifies. These leaves are rich, moist, and succulent, yielding a deep color and muscatel flavor with fruity undertones when brewed. This black tea offers a smooth, full-bodied cup with a robust aroma, dark color, and pronounced flavor, complemented by a sweet hint of muscatel, making it a true delight for connoisseurs.
The second flush tea presents a rich cup and aroma, with infused leaves showcasing a bright copper or purplish tint, standing in stark contrast to the first flush teas and the delicate, sparkling character of Autumn Darjeeling. To prepare, simply add 1 teaspoon (2 grams) to a cup of 200 ml hot water (around 95?C) and steep for 3-4 minutes, adjusting the steeping time to suit your taste. Even at its most robust, Darjeeling tea is typically enjoyed without milk, sugar, or lemon, though sweeteners or honey can be added if desired.
