Organic Darjeeling Second Flush Loose Leaf Tea from Avongrove Estate

Avongrove Estate produces highly regarded organic Darjeeling teas from the Rungbong Valley, and this second flush FTGFOP1 is a fine example of the estate’s character. Specialist listings for this tea consistently highlight its floral notes, clonal nuance and refined second flush profile, making it a particularly appealing choice for Darjeeling drinkers seeking an aromatic, estate-led cup.

The second flush harvest brings greater depth and warmth than the spring first flush, while retaining the clarity and elegance that define high-quality Darjeeling black tea.

Floral, Muscatel and Softly Spiced

In the cup, this Organic Darjeeling second flush loose leaf tea brews to a clear luminous amber with warm golden tones. The flavour is floral and gently muscatel, with soft spice and a rounded finish that lingers gracefully without harshness.

It is refined rather than forceful, expressive without becoming heavy and especially rewarding for those who appreciate Darjeeling’s more aromatic, summer-harvested style.

FTGFOP1 Organic Estate Tea with Distinctive Avongrove Character

The FTGFOP1 grade signals a carefully made orthodox leaf with fine tips and a high standard of plucking and sorting. In this Avongrove selection, the result is a tea with poise, brightness and a polished finish that suits slow, attentive drinking.

The organic provenance and single-estate identity add further appeal for customers seeking a Darjeeling with both clarity of origin and genuine individuality.

How to Brew Avongrove Estate Second Flush

Use water at around 90°C to 95°C and add one heaped teaspoon per cup. Steep for 3 to 4 minutes.

A 3-minute infusion gives a brighter, more lifted cup. A 4-minute brew brings out fuller muscatel depth and a little more soft spice.

Serve without milk to preserve the tea’s aromatic delicacy. A pre-warmed pot or cup will help the infusion develop evenly.
