Darjeelings are standouts in the black tea category, renowned for their complex aromas and nuanced flavors. The flushes refer to the harvest: second flushes are the second hand-picking of the spring plants—in late April or early May—and the small leaves are fully withered and rolled so as to maximize oxidation.
In this lot (DJ 116) from the organic, high elevation Jungpana Estate, a round aroma hinting of almond and sweet potato yields to a bright, light flavor with tart notes of cherry and goji berry. Try steeping with less leaf than other black teas to sidestep any astringent overtones.
