Autumn Flush Darjeeling Tea

Product Overview

As the seasons change, the tea leaves of Darjeeling blend with these changes and form a unique and special form of tea, harvested during the Autumn season, known as the Autumn Flush Darjeeling Tea. The harvesting period during this time is characterized by cooler temperatures and shorter daylight hours which influences the tea’s flavor profile, distinctively. 

This makes the tea leaves develop a rich and full-bodied taste with a hint of sweetness and a smoother finish, making it a favorite among tea lovers. 

Gopaldhara Tea Estate’s Autumn Flush Range captures the essence of the season in its leaves, which adds a unique flavor to our tea. Here are the types of tea available in this season.
