2nd flush is sometimes called the Easter Flush. The leaf from these bushes has matured a bit since the early spring harvest but it is plucked well before the monsoons arrive which is typically mid-June. Too much moisture results in a greater yield but a lower quality of Darjeeling leaf so 2nd flush is pre-monsoon. 2nd flush leaves, when infused, exhibit a coppery hue to the leaf and the fragrance carries a deeper floral scent. It has more body in the cup with an increased pungency. The 2nd flush harvest has more staying power and is our most popular Makaibari tea.
I bye this tea for 20 years from Silver Tips and it gives me strength i the morning! Thank you so much!
I love the flavor profile of this tea. Perfect for the morning. Lovely color too.
This tea is a pleasant surprise trying it for the first time.
A warming tea always good! I have a cup after dinner so I don’t snack in sweets😊
I look forward to this lovely breakfast tea.
Consistently excellent! I also have this when I wake up in the middle of night and can't get back to sleep. Calming and relaxing.
Love this for afternoon warmth, it’s super rich and tangy. One of the best red tissanes I’ve ever found!
This is my pick me up in the afternoon .
One of my favorite teas
This is the tea my coffee-loving partner drinks every afternoon... after years of making fun of me for drinking tea. It's a liquid treat in a cup.
I mainly drink unflavored green tea, but this black tea is light but with a deep flavor. I don't know how else to say it, but I love it.
One of the most aromatic, delicate and sweet blends. There hasn’t yet been anyone among my friends who has tasted this tea at my place and have not asked for it during the next visit.
First tea of the day -- absolutely lovely
having drank lots of earl grey over many years, this is my favorite. if you love bergamot flavor, definitely give this a try.
When I want a flavorful tea to pick me up in the morning or from my afternoon slump English Breakfast tea is my go to tea, strong with a dash of milk.
