Summer harvest | a harmonious, sweet, and spicy Darjeeling

From a garden founded in 1860 and cultivated in respect of natural cycles, this second flush Darjeeling embodies the maturity and depth of high-altitude teas harvested in summer. It develops a rounder and warmer cup than the 1st flush, with an aromatic complexity that speaks to lovers of finesse without ostentation.

Upon infusion, the color is coppery and clear. The nose evokes soft wood, light nutmeg, and a subtle orange blossom that lingers at the end of the palate. The texture is supple, enveloping, perfect for accompanying a moment of grounding, a calm conversation, or a day’s end that stretches gently.

Benefits

This tea accompanies periods of slowing down, late afternoons, or moments when one seeks to ground themselves without feeling weighed down. It is traditionally used to promote gentle digestion, calm mental agitation, and support a form of lucid comfort, without numbness. Thanks to its moderate caffeine content, it is also suitable for times when one wishes to maintain clarity without overstimulation.

• Aids digestion after the meal
• Supports a calm and clear state of mind
• Provides a feeling of grounding without heaviness
• Moderate stimulation, ideal at the end of the day

The Master's advice

When the day slows down and one seeks to remain there, effortlessly, this tea accompanies like a hand resting on the shoulder. Neither excitement nor retreat — just presence.
