Okayti Reserve | Darjeeling Black Tea (Organic) | Second Flush 2026
Every so often, a tea arrives that reminds us why Darjeeling continues to inspire tea lovers around the world. This extraordinary second flush from the organic Okayti Tea Estate is one of those rare harvests.
The beauty of the leaf is immediately striking. Long, carefully rolled leaves are generously adorned with shimmering golden tips, giving the tea an appearance more often associated with the finest Chinese black teas than with Darjeeling. Open the pouch and the fragrance is irresistible—rich cacao, dark chocolate, and warm sweetness rise from the leaves before the kettle has even begun to boil.
The infusion glows with a deep amber hue, offering a cup of remarkable richness and elegance. Velvety in texture, it unfolds with notes of ripe apricot, wild orchids, and sun-ripened fruit, while deep flavors of molasses and traditional jaggery lend warmth and lasting sweetness. Every element is beautifully integrated, creating a tea that is generous in flavor yet refined in character.
This is a small batch.
