Description

This organic Autumnal Darjeeling comes from the renowned Okayti Tea Estate, one of Darjeeling’s oldest and most respected gardens, located high in the eastern Himalayas near the Nepal border.

Harvested in the autumn months, this tea offers a deeper, more rounded character than the bright, floral first flushes Darjeeling is known for. The grade FTGFOP1 indicates a high proportion of fine, tippy leaves, while the SF designation refers to “Special Fine” leaf quality — a quality marker, not a flush classification.

The liquor is a clear amber-gold, with a smooth, structured body and excellent balance. On the palate, expect warm notes of dried fruit, toasted almond, and gentle spice, layered with soft honeyed sweetness and a clean, slightly woody finish. There is no sharpness or bitterness — just a refined, comforting cup that works beautifully on its own or with a splash of milk.

A wonderful choice for those who appreciate a softer, warmer Darjeeling, fuller than a first flush and gentler than a classic second flush.
