Basundi Tea - 500gm + 10gm (510gm)

First flush is the earliest harvest of the season (typically March), known for a light, delicate, floral flavour.

Second flush is harvested later in the season (May-June) and has a stronger, fuller-bodied muscatel flavour compared to first flush.

Use water just off the boil (around 90-95°C), steep for 3-4 minutes, and avoid over-brewing to prevent bitterness.

Pricing reflects limited harvest windows, high-altitude cultivation, hand-plucking, and the specific processing that gives Darjeeling tea its signature flavour.

Muscatel refers to the natural grape/wine-like sweetness that develops in certain Darjeeling teas, especially second flush, due to a small insect's feeding on the leaf.

On average, 100g of loose-leaf Darjeeling tea yields approximately 40-50 cups, depending on the quantity used per cup.
