Gopaldhara Darjeeling Autumn Flush Classic Black Tea

Warm, aromatic, and beautifully traditional — Gopaldhara Darjeeling Aromatic & Traditional Autumn Flush Classic Black Tea is crafted from mixed heritage bushes growing at the highest elevations of the Gopaldhara Tea Estate, stretching from 5,500 to 7,000 ft. Harvested in October, when the crisp mountain air begins to cool but has not yet reached winter’s chill, this tea captures the unique sweetness, clarity, and depth of the autumn season.

The dry leaves exhibit a striking greenish-black appearance, and when brewed, they open into a clear, transparent orange liquor with a mixed infusion. Expertly oxidized, this tea reveals the characteristic autumnal robustness Darjeeling is celebrated for, enriched with a prominent sweet muscatel flavour.

The cup is silky-smooth, full-bodied, and beautifully balanced, ending with a gentle, sweet finish. Traditional in style yet refined in expression, this autumn flush tea is an excellent choice for those who appreciate classic Darjeeling craftsmanship.

The Tea Story

High in the serene peaks of Darjeeling, the autumn season brings a unique charm: cool breezes, slow-growing leaves, and a flavour profile that differs beautifully from the brisk first flush and the muscatel-rich second flush. Harvested during this transitional period, Gopaldhara Autumn Classic embodies the essence of traditional Darjeeling autumn teas — warm, aromatic, robust, and sweet.

Crafted from mixed bushes and expertly oxidized, this tea retains the signature muscatel sweetness while developing the rich, silky body that autumn flush teas are known for. It is a celebration of season, heritage, and craftsmanship — a cup that feels like comfort in its purest form.
