Gopaldhara Darjeeling Premium Autumn Flush Black Tea – Crafted from Mixed Bushes

Gopaldhara Darjeeling Premium Autumn Flush Black Tea is a traditional autumn harvest tea crafted from mixed bushes grown at the high elevations of the Gopaldhara Tea Estate between 5500 and 7000 feet. Produced in mid-October, when temperatures begin to fall but remain stable, the leaves develop a distinctive autumnal character. The well-sorted greenish-black whole leaves are gently oxidized to highlight their natural sweetness. Upon brewing, the tea yields a fully transparent orange liquor with a mixed infusion and a refined structure. The cup reveals prominent sweet muscatel depth supported by floral tones and subtle citrus brightness. Smooth and free from astringency, it concludes with a lingering and satisfying aftertaste.

The Tea Story

Autumn at Gopaldhara brings cooler air and slower leaf development across its highest peaks.
