Rohini Summer Honey Oolong 2023 – Royal Series
This is one of the finest summer teas produced from high-quality AV2 bushes at Rohini Tea Estate.There is a reason behind the name ‘bug bitten tea’. During June, when the second flush teas are harvested, the rise in temperature also causes a rise in the insect population. The Tea Jassids, also called green flies in Darjeeling feed on the tea leaves for a couple of weeks. During this time they suck out the moisture causing the leaves to shrivel downwards. The loss of moisture does not kill the leaf but rather stunts it’s growth leading to a concentration of flavors. They also leave pinpricks on the leaf surface which induces natural fermentation. During the process of fermentation odorous compounds are released which in turn make the tea more flavorful and aromatic. It is a quirk of nature that the ‘Muscatel’ flavor present in second flush Darjeeling teas is a result of stress response to insect infestation
This summer oolong consists of brownish-black leaves and a few silver tips. It brews into an aromatic bright amber cup with a very smooth flavor and no astringency.
