All Darjeeling teas possess a unique brightness and aromatic flavour that set them apart and above from all other teas and above from all other teas

However, there are subtle variations across plantations and across the seasons.
Darjeeling tea has four different flushes:
    • Spring Flush
  • Summer Flush
  • Monsoon flush
  • Autumn flush
   
 
Flush Time Description  
Spring Flush Late February-Mid April These are springtime teas. The young leaves yield a light green tea with a liquor that is light, clear, bright and imparts a pleasant brisk flavor.
Summer Flush May - June This flush is famed for its prominent quality. The leaf has a purplish bloom.The liquor is bright, the taste full and round with a fruity note.
Monsoon Flush July - September During this period the nature of the liquor changes becoming stronger, yet retaining brightness and character.
Autumn Flush October - November These autumn-harvested teas are characterised by large leaves that give a round taste and coppery liquor.
