Rohini Darjeeling Classic Autumn Flush Yabukita Black Tea Crafted from Japanese Yabukita Clones
Intense, expressive, and deeply characterful — Rohini Darjeeling Classic Autumn Flush Yabukita Black Tea is a rare and flavour-forward muscatel tea crafted from Japanese Yabukita clones, cultivated at elevations between 1,500 and 3,000 feet at the esteemed Rohini Tea Estate. Known for producing teas of uncommon depth and structure, these Yabukita bushes bring a distinctive personality to Darjeeling’s autumn harvest.
The dry leaves appear brownish with scattered golden tips, and when brewed, they yield a full-bodied reddish-yellow liquor with remarkable intensity. The cup opens with rich muscatel sweetness, layered with depth and complexity, and reveals a rare, prominent note of Jamun (Indian blackberry) — a flavour seldom found in Darjeeling teas.
The finish is long, firm, and unapologetically bold, with a zestful acidic grip that feels lively rather than harsh. Powerful yet refined, this tea is crafted for those who seek complexity, strength, and a lingering, thought-provoking aftertaste.

The Tea Story
Rohini Tea Estate is known for innovation and precision, and its cultivation of Japanese Yabukita clones has produced some of Darjeeling’s most distinctive teas. During the autumn flush, cooler nights and mature leaves allow flavours to deepen, resulting in teas with greater body, structure, and complexity.
This Yabukita black tea reflects that seasonal strength — muscatel-driven, fruit-layered, and assertive. The rare Jamun note, firm tannic structure, and long, gripping finish make it a tea that challenges and rewards the palate — a true expression of Rohini’s craftsmanship and Darjeeling’s evolving character.

FAQ's
Yabukita is a renowned tea cultivar originally developed in Japan in the early 20th century. Known for its fresh, umami-rich character and refined balance, it became the backbone of Japanese green tea production and is now gaining recognition in select Darjeeling tea estates for its exceptional quality.
Yabukita found its way from Japan to the Darjeeling hills through careful experimentation by progressive tea estates. Gardens like Gopaldhara and Rohini recognized its potential to adapt to Himalayan conditions, where cool temperatures, misty slopes, and mineral-rich soil bring a new expression to this iconic cultivar.
Darjeeling Yabukita teas are uniquely fresh and elegant, combining gentle umami, soft vegetal notes, and subtle sweetness with Darjeeling’s signature finesse. Compared to Japanese Yabukita, the Himalayan version feels lighter, more aromatic, and layered, offering a truly global flavor profile.
While the cultivar is the same, the taste is shaped by terroir. Darjeeling’s altitude, climate, and soil impart floral notes and refined complexity, while Japanese Yabukita is more intense and oceanic. This makes Darjeeling Yabukita a rare fusion of Japanese precision and Himalayan elegance.
Most Darjeeling teas are made from Chinese or clonal varieties, making Yabukita a standout. Its presence reflects innovation in Darjeeling tea craftsmanship, showcasing how global cultivars can thrive locally while creating entirely new sensory experiences for tea connoisseurs.
From its origins near bamboo groves in Japan to its success on the misty slopes of Darjeeling, Yabukita represents how knowledge, skill, and respect for the leaf transcend borders. It stands as a testament to how thoughtful cultivation and terroir-driven craftsmanship can create world-class teas anywhere.
