Moonlight Darjeeling Second Flush

According to local folklore, the leaves used to create this characterful second flush Darjeeling tea are picked during summer nights, under bright, full moonlight. Moonlight style teas are known for including many of the tippy buds, giving the loose leaf a silvery hue. Only partially oxidised, the leaves render an infusion that is lighter than a typical second flush tea, with a famously complex flavour profile offering distinct notes of grape sweetness and a smooth texture.
