Giddapahar SFTGFOP 1 CH Musk Autumn Flush 2016
€6,20 – €22,40A veil of sweet mildness covers the teas opf the autumn flushes like a pastel-amber cloth. New facettes, previously overlayered by the spicy aromas of spring and summer are coming to surface. This year’s Giddapahar autumn flush, however, seems to build a particularly strong bridge to the second flushes, bearing still much of the spiciness and sharp aromas of those. In fact, the taste of Giddapahar SFTGFOP 1 CH Musk Autumn Flush 2016 has something of the fragrance of autumn leaves, precious woods, and rich, dark earth.

Giddapahar Spring Gold – First Flush 2017
€7,20 – €23,40The dry leaves material of Giddapahar Spring Gold First Flush 2017 awards Darjeeling tea lovers with true eye candy even before getting to actually trying it. A rare combination of brown, red and turquoise shades that most probably only Darjeeling’ modern first flushes processing can evoke. In terms of taste, despite its comparably low buds ratio, Giddapahar’s early first flush (March 207) holds some positive surprises. Instead of the dominant flowery notes that are typical for many DJ first flushes, it comes with heavy sweetness and seductive dried fruit aroma. The mild roasting takes the spicy edges off this tea, giving way from a broad spectum of malty notes. And it’s mainly these notes that will linger on your palate long after actually drinking this tea..

Goomtee FTGFOP 1 Classic Autumn Flush 2016
€6,40 – €22,90The most astounding and particularly individual characteristic of this FTGFOP 1 autumn flush 2016 of Goomtee Tea Estate in Darjeeling, India, is the bridge it builds back to the year’s first spring picking. So, despite of the progressed season, this “Autumnal” from Kurseong Valley (= “land of orchids”) has still much both of the first flush’s floweryness and the second flush’s aromatic spicyness. And it unites these two elements with the characteristics of the autumn flushes a unique way.

The teas of the 100% organic-biodynamic operated Makaibari Tea Estate have been enjoying a reputation for superior quality for many years. Both in the industry and among tea lovers worldwide.

Margaret’s Hope Second Flush 2017 FTGFOP1 HS
€6,80 – €21,90Margaret’s Hope Second Flush 2017 FTGFOP1 HS surprises with powerful brut notes.

Nevertheless – or maybe even just because of – its rather surprising taste profile, Margaret’s Hope SF 2017 FTGFOP1 HS definitely counts among this year’s best Darjeeling second flush teas.
