This is one of the best & exceptional quality Darjeeling summer oolong tea is crafted from the finest AV2 bushes at Rohini Tea Estate, making it a standout choice. Aptly named “bug bitten tea,” its unique character stems from a fascinating natural phenomenon. During the second flush tea harvest, as temperatures rise, so does the insect population. Tea Jassids also known as green flies indulge in the tea leaves for a few weeks. Their feeding causes the leaves to wither and shrink while retaining their vitality, resulting in intensified flavours. Additionally, the insects’ tiny punctures on the leaf surface instigate a natural fermentation process, releasing aromatic compounds and enhancing the tea’s flavour profile. Interestingly, the distinct “Muscatel” flavour found in second flush Darjeeling teas is a response to the plant’s stress from insect infestation.

Due to the slow growth of first flush teas, only a small but highly prized quantity of leaves is brought to the factory, requiring minimal machine processing. With expert craftsmanship, the tea is lightly oxidized to achieve a perfect balance—ensuring a mellow, fruity cup with a light body and a refreshing spring character. The result is a smooth, fulfilling experience with no astringency, leaving behind a lingering and pleasant aftertaste. A sip of this exquisite oolong transports you to the misty hills of Darjeeling, capturing the essence of the season’s finest harvest.
