The celebrated muscatel character develops naturally during Darjeeling’s Second Flush season. Warm weather and specific growing conditions influence the tea leaves, creating flavours often compared to ripe muscat grapes. Careful plucking, withering, rolling and oxidation further develop this distinctive profile. Singbulli Tea Garden is particularly respected for producing Second Flush teas with clear muscatel notes, fruity depth and a smooth, lingering finish.

Expect a bright amber liquor with an inviting aroma of ripe fruits, honey and warm florals. The taste is full bodied and smooth, with pronounced muscatel sweetness supported by hints of peach, apricot and gentle spice. A mild astringency keeps the cup lively without overpowering its natural richness. The finish is clean, fruity and pleasantly lasting, making it suitable for both regular enjoyment and thoughtful tea appreciation.

This premium Darjeeling tea is best enjoyed without milk because its delicate muscatel, honey and fruit notes can be masked by dairy. Brew the leaves in freshly boiled water cooled slightly to approximately 90°C to 95°C for three to four minutes. Drink it plain to appreciate its complete flavour. A small amount of sugar may be added, although the tea already carries a pleasant natural sweetness.

Singbulli Second Flush Darjeeling tea is particularly suited to late mornings and relaxed afternoons. Its medium strength offers greater depth than a light First Flush while remaining refined and comfortable to drink without milk. It pairs well with lightly sweet biscuits, fruit cakes, tea sandwiches and mild cheeses. The lingering muscatel finish also makes it an excellent standalone cup when you want a premium Darjeeling tea with richness, balance and character.
