Organic Darjeeling Second Flush Loose Leaf Tea - Singell Estate FTGFOP1

Our Organic Darjeeling second flush loose leaf tea from Singell Estate is a smooth, aromatic FTGFOP1 black tea with glowing bronze liquor, soft muscatel depth and a polished, lingering finish. Certified organic and harvested during Darjeeling’s prized summer flush, it reveals notes of honey, gentle fruit and orange blossom-like lift — a refined Himalayan tea best savoured without milk.

Organic Darjeeling Second Flush Loose Leaf Tea from Singell Estate

Singell Estate is one of Darjeeling’s historic tea gardens, established in the nineteenth century and long associated with organic cultivation. This second flush FTGFOP1 selection captures the fuller, more rounded style for which summer Darjeeling is especially admired, combining estate character with the aromatic richness of the season.

The cup is elegant but not delicate, with enough body to feel satisfying while retaining the clarity and fragrance that make fine Darjeeling teas so distinctive.

Soft Muscatel, Honeyed Sweetness and Floral Lift

In the cup, this Organic Darjeeling second flush loose leaf tea brews to a clear bronze-amber liquor with inviting warmth. The flavour is smooth and velvety, led by gentle muscatel notes, soft honey-like sweetness and a lightly floral finish with hints of orange blossom. Similar Singell second flush descriptions also emphasise its fruity, warm and muscatel character.

It is a beautifully composed black tea: aromatic, rounded and expressive without harshness.

FTGFOP1 Organic Estate Tea with Refined Summer Character

The FTGFOP1 grade indicates a carefully made orthodox leaf with fine tips and a high standard of sorting. In a second flush tea from Singell, that translates into a cup with greater summer depth than a first flush, while still retaining elegance and lift.

This is an excellent choice for those who enjoy Darjeeling at its most characterful — fuller in body, smoother in texture and more rounded in flavour.

A 3-minute brew gives a lighter, more floral cup. A 4-minute infusion develops fuller muscatel depth and greater body.

Serve without milk to appreciate the tea’s aromatic complexity. A second infusion is also worth trying, producing a lighter, more delicate cup.
