Octavius Darjeeling Autumn Flush Whole Leaf Black Tea | Well Balanced, Smooth, Sweet, Fruity, Floral Brew | Also Robust & Full Bodied | 100 GMS (50 Cups) – Fast UK Delivery

Featuring dark, blackish-brown leaves, this infusion embodies the spirit of the autumn season by skilfully combining diverse Darjeeling black tea profiles. Each cup delivers a seamless blend of smooth textures, sweet undertones, and hints of fruit and flowers for a complete sensory experience. Often referred to as the third flush, Darjeeling Autumn flush black tea comes from the year’s last harvest, which commences in late October once the monsoon rains have subsided. Because the picking window is limited to a mere 30 days, these particular teas are considered quite rare.

Highly valued by tea connoisseurs, these harvests do not possess the pungent astringency or sharp bite characteristic of the first and second flushes. Rather, the tea provides a light, lively infusion with a pleasant taste that shifts away from floral notes toward a more understated fruitiness. While softer than an Assam, this variety provides a substantial body and a deep, satisfying cup. Its balanced flavours, silky mouthfeel, and gentle sweetness make it arguably the most accessible choice among all Darjeeling varieties.

For brewing, simply use one teaspoon (2 grams) per 200 ml of hot water (approximately 95?C). Let it steep for 3 to 4 minutes, or modify the duration based on your personal preference. Despite its richness, Darjeeling is usually consumed without milk, sugar, or lemon, though you may add honey or other sweeteners if you prefer.
