Description

Summer Oolong is a meticulously handcrafted second flush tea, sourced from one of our partnered small grower gardens in Darjeeling. This exclusive 8 kg batch follows a unique plucking standard—one leaf and a bud—to capture the richest flavors.

What makes this tea truly special is the intentional exposure to natural pest pressure, a traditional technique that enhances the malty, honey-like sweetness and brings out delicate fruity undertones. The result is a smooth, complex infusion with a lingering finish.
