Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Giddapahar Classic Darjeeling Second Flush Black Tea special?

This tea is harvested from a boutique family-owned estate and is known for its bright, intense cup with classic muscatel character. Giddapahar's dedication to quality ensures a consistently excellent brew.

What does "muscatel" mean in the context of tea?

"Muscatel" refers to a unique flavor profile found in some Darjeeling Second Flush teas, resembling the sweet, fruity taste of muscat grapes. This complex and nuanced flavor is highly prized and is a hallmark of premium Second Flush Darjeeling teas.

What is the difference between First Flush and Second Flush teas?

First Flush teas are harvested in early spring and are known for their light, floral, and delicate flavors. Second Flush teas, harvested in late spring to early summer, are richer, more full-bodied, and often have distinctive muscatel notes. The leaves of Second Flush teas are darker, and the brew is usually more robust compared to First Flush teas.

What are the tasting notes of muscatel teas?

Muscatel teas typically have a sweet, fruity flavor with hints of muscat grapes, raisins, and sometimes a floral undertone. They may also have a subtle spiciness or nuttiness, contributing to their complex and rich taste profile.
