Another fine second flush Darjeeling from the famed Gopaldhara Estate. This is a very classic, very high quality black tea custom made exclusively for Trident from one of the highest tea gardens in the Himalayas. Summer harvested teas in Darjeeling are traditionally allowed to oxidize fully into black teas. Being the second flush of the growing season, these teas have a little less fragrance and bright fruit notes than those harvested in the spring (“first flush”), and instead tend to be sweeter in flavor with stronger muscatel grape notes, making them more appropriate to be processed as true blacks.

This is an elevated example of a classic high quality second flush Darjeeling. It is dark and rich with sweet and winey notes, balanced alongside hints of dark oak and juniper berries. Indian black lovers, this is what you’ve been waiting for.
