Rohini Darjeeling Autumn Flush Oriental Oolong – Winter Frosted Harvest

Rohini Autumn Flush Oriental Oolong is an exquisite winter-frosted oolong cultivated at the Rohini Tea Estate from premium-quality AV2 bushes grown between 3000 and 4400 feet. Harvested during the cool and mist-laden months of November and December, this tea develops under dry weather and frequent fog, which naturally slows leaf growth and intensifies flavour concentration. The narrow harvesting window enhances its rarity. The brownish leaves with abundant golden tips brew into a semi-transparent orange liquor with a greenish infusion. The cup reveals honeyed sweetness, a rounded muscatel finish, and layered notes of ripe fruits reminiscent of red wine. Smooth and non-astringent, it concludes with a long, pleasant, and lingering aftertaste.

The Tea Story

As late autumn settles over Rohini’s lower to mid elevations, fog and cool dry weather slow the growth of the tea bushes. This natural pause concentrates sugars and aromatic compounds within the leaf. Carefully plucked and gently oxidized, this winter-frosted oolong captures the quiet intensity and layered depth that define Darjeeling’s late-season craftsmanship.
