Now : ₹ 400.00
Rohini Darjeeling Summer Classic Honey Oolong Tea is an exceptional second flush oolong crafted from prized AV2 bushes grown between 1500 and 3000 feet at the Rohini Tea Estate. Known as a “bug bitten” tea, its distinctive character develops naturally during the warmer summer months when tea jassids gently feed on the leaves. This interaction triggers biochemical changes within the plant, enhancing aromatic compounds and intensifying flavour. The semi-oxidized whole leaves, greenish with silver tips, brew into a bright yellow, fully transparent liquor. The cup reveals fruity muscatel depth layered with honeyed sweetness and subtle mango notes. Smooth and free from astringency, it concludes with a pleasant and distinct aftertaste.

The Tea Story
During the summer second flush, rising temperatures bring increased insect activity in the tea gardens. When tea jassids feed lightly on the leaves, the plant responds by producing aromatic compounds that deepen flavour and create the distinctive muscatel character Darjeeling is known for. Carefully crafted as a semi-oxidized whole leaf oolong, this bug bitten summer tea reflects Rohini’s seasonal precision and the unique natural interactions of the Darjeeling hills.
