Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Castleton Moonlight Darjeeling Second Flush Black Tea special?

Castleton Moonlight is one of the most sought-after teas, produced in limited quantities. It is prized for its elegance and exquisite flavor, making it a must-have for serious tea connoisseurs.

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.
