Gopaldhara Frosted Winter Mystic Autumn Flush Black Tea – Crafted from Frosted Leaves of Highest Elevated AV2 Bushes

Gopaldhara Frosted Winter Mystic Autumn Flush Black Tea is a rare and extremely limited edition autumn black tea crafted from naturally frosted leaves harvested at the highest elevations of the Gopaldhara Tea Estate in Darjeeling. Plucked during the final autumn harvest from select AV2 clonal bushes growing between 5500 and 7000 feet, this tea develops under near-freezing conditions that slow growth and intensify flavour formation. The well-sorted dry leaves appear brownish-black and compact, brewing into a bright, transparent orange liquor with a coppery infusion. The cup reveals a fresh autumn Darjeeling aroma, a pronounced honeyed sweetness with a distinct Earl Grey–like finish, and fruity notes of honey, plum, and raisin. Smooth, mouth-filling, and non-astringent, the aftertaste is long-lasting and captivating, making this one of Gopaldhara’s rarest autumn expressions.

The Tea Story

As autumn deepens at the upper reaches of Gopaldhara, frost settles across the AV2 bushes and growth slows dramatically. Leaves mature gradually under cold, clear conditions, concentrating flavour and aroma within a short harvest window. This tea captures the signature freshness of Darjeeling’s autumn flush, shaped by altitude, frost, and time.
