Octavius Darjeeling Autumn Flush Whole Leaf Black Tea | Well Balanced, Smooth, Sweet, Fruity, Floral Brew | Also Robust & Full Bodied | 100 GMS (50 Cups) – Fast Shipping to USA & Canada

This dark brew, characterized by its blackish-brown leaves, captures the essence of the Autumn harvest, blending various Darjeeling black tea flavors in ideal proportions. The cup offers a harmonious balance of sweetness, smoothness, and fruity and floral notes, resulting in a well-rounded experience. Known as the third flush, Darjeeling Autumn flush black tea is produced from the final crop of the year, which begins at the end of October after the monsoon season has passed. These teas are quite rare, as the harvest period is brief, lasting only 30 days.

Esteemed by discerning tea enthusiasts, these teas lack the sharpness, bite, or astringency often found in the first and second flushes. Instead, the liquor presents a delicate yet effervescent quality with a delightful flavor profile that is less floral and more subtly fruity compared to earlier flushes. This type of tea offers a robust body and a solid cup, though it is milder than Assam teas. The rounded flavors, smoothness, and slightly sweet undertones make it the most approachable of all Darjeeling teas.

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, although sweeteners or honey can be added if desired.
