Darjeeling is celebrated around the world for its black teas, yet some of its most captivating expressions come from styles produced in much smaller quantities. This summer green tea from the historic Okayti Tea Estate is one such example.

The cup is delicate and refined. Gentle floral aromas mingle with the sweetness of wild grasses and fresh meadow flowers, creating an infusion that feels remarkably fresh and alive. As the tea cools, subtle notes of passion fruit begin to emerge, adding an unexpected layer of tropical fruit to its otherwise serene character. The texture is smooth and silky, with virtually no bitterness—just a soft, lingering sweetness that invites another sip.

MORE DETAILS

The leaves are only lightly processed, preserving much of their natural character. Rather than the tightly rolled appearance common to many green teas, the leaves remain loosely formed and partially open, giving them an elegant, almost white tea-like appearance. It is a beautiful reminder that careful craftsmanship sometimes means doing less rather than more.

This is a green tea for those who appreciate nuance over intensity. Its quiet elegance rewards slow drinking, revealing new dimensions as the cup gradually cools. Whether you are an experienced tea enthusiast or exploring premium Darjeeling greens for the first time, this limited summer harvest offers a graceful expression of one of India's most celebrated tea gardens.

Tea maker's note: "We use two leaves and a bud of the P312 variety. Once the leaves are brought to the factory, hot air is applied to control the enzymes and arrest the leaves from getting oxidized. This manufacturing process is unique due to the hot air process which dries the leaves just enough to retain their umami flavor. Some might classify this as an Oolong. But I guess as with all tea lovers, discussions surrounding good teas never end."
