Autumn Flush

SEASON
Just before winter takes over, Selim Hill produces some of its best teas in the entire year. The Autumn Flush is the final offering of the tea bushes of the estate. The climax of a delightful year can be felt in the complexity of its cup. Winter is also the time when the veils of mist give way for a fleeting glimpse of the Kanchenjunga from Selim Hill. Maybe its the presence of these five sacred peaks that can be felt during this magical Flush.

DRY LEAF
Dark brown with hints of green. Our leaves are rough, long, and bold. Like a Persian carpet, the inconsistency of our leaves is a mark of the authenticity of our product.

LIQUORING
Bright Golden – resembling a newly lit fire.

AROMA
Floral, fragrant and tropical, with hints of jasmine.

FLAVOURS
Full bodied in appearance, intense in flavour, but light and relaxed on the cup. The Autumn Flush teas have a buttery texture and a floral aftertaste. It combines the best of all Flushes and is offered to us by our bushes in very small batches.

LEGEND
Plucking takes place in the upper divisions of the tea estate where the cool winds are able to nurture the perfect teas for the season. The underrated Autumn Flush is our personal favourite!

PREPARATION
Add 2 teaspoons (2.5 g) and steep hot water for 5 minutes. Brew and enjoy the Original Taste of Darjeeling.
