Makaibari Summer Solstice Muscatel Second Flush Black Tea

Bursting with the vibrant energy of summer, Makaibari’s Organic Darjeeling Second Flush Black Tea is a true Muscatel treasure. Harvested in the warm months of late May to June, just after the nourishing April showers, this tea embodies the richness and depth of the season. Grown in the celebrated Makaibari Tea Estate, it is one of the finest representations of Second Flush Darjeeling—a perfect “pick me up” tea known for its bold and invigorating character.

The leaves undergo a long wither to remove up to 65% of their moisture, enhancing their natural complexity. Once brewed, the liquor reveals a deep coppery amber hue, a visual delight that hints at the richness within. The first sip is marked by delectable top notes of peach and plum, followed by a refined fruity undertone and a robust Muscatel punch that lingers on the palate. The finish is smooth, layered, and incredibly satisfying.

Top Note: Peach & Plum
Heart Note: Fruity undertones
Base Note: Coppery amber finish

This tea is ideal for those seeking a bold, complex cup with elegance and depth—a classic Darjeeling with a summer soul.
