Roasted Flush
SEASON
The monsoons are long, and lonely in Darjeeling. Shrouded by mist, Selim Hill experiences a daily downpour accompanied by claps of thunders and flashes of lightning. But plucking does not halt. Armed with an umbrella in one hand, while warding off leeches and snakes, the ladies of Selim Hill look to collect the bounty that nature suddenly offers in these 2 months, with their nimble, trained hands. We specially roast these teas to capture the smoky flavour.

DRY LEAF
Dark brown and roasted in appearance. 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
Mahogany coloured in appearance.

AROMA
Stronger on the nose with a lingering smoky aroma.

FLAVOURS
Full bodied, our Roasted Flush carries a distinct and bold smokiness in its cup. It begins with a mellowness and ends with a slightly tart aftertaste. We recommend adding a drop of milk to our Roasted Flush teas and enjoying it with adda and pakoras.

LEGEND
By roasting and hand sorting our monsoon Flush teas, we bring to you a truly special tea that is very similar to the famous Lapsang Souchong teas of China.

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