Second flush harvests are hand-picked during Summer, generally between June and mid-August. The tea leaves from the second flush have a purplish bloom that infuses to a dark amber liquor and a fruity flavour – in contrast to the first flush teas. Allowing the tea plants to grow organically and remain the way Mother Nature intended results in the development of a fruity, muscatel flavour. This is achieved by the tea plant reacting to small insects extracting juices from the stems during the Summer season. This natural process is also what makes the fruity muscatel flavour of Darjeeling tea so unique and impossible to replicate anywhere in the world.

We invite you to taste the flavour of each season with TWG Tea!
