The Tao of Tea, Second Flush Darjeeling Black Tea, Loose Leaf, Tins (Pack of 2)

Tea making in Darjeeling has distinct seasons, with early plucking beginning in late March. After a brief period the second plucking "Second Flush" generally occurs in late April, May, and June. Teas are also made after the rains in summer and "Autumnal" tea are gaining more popularity. The flavors vary with the season and are dependent on the climate and processing technique. Second Flush refers to the plucking season of May through June. The flavor is stronger, and as such, Second Flush teas are sometimes preferred over First Flush teas by lovers of hearty and full-bodied teas. Very distinct muscatel aroma
