Oaks

Oaks Second Flush Black Tea is a premium Darjeeling tea that embodies the rich, flavorful characteristics of second flush teas from the esteemed Oaks Tea Estate. Here’s more about it:

Origin & Ingredients: Sourced from the Oaks Tea Estate in the Darjeeling region, Oaks Second Flush Black Tea is harvested during the second flush period, which takes place from late spring to early summer. This harvest is known for producing tea leaves with fuller, more intense flavors, often with muscatel notes that are characteristic of Darjeeling teas. The leaves are carefully handpicked to ensure the highest quality and to capture the distinct flavor profile that makes second flush teas so popular.

Flavor Profile: Oaks Second Flush Black Tea is known for its bold, rich flavor. It offers a robust body with a deep, fruity muscatel flavor—a hallmark of second flush Darjeeling teas. This tea has a smooth, slightly malty taste with floral undertones and a lingering sweet finish. The infusion has a golden amber color, and the flavor is both complex and refreshing, with a light astringency that adds depth to the overall profile.

Health Benefits: Like all black teas, Oaks Second Flush Black Tea is rich in antioxidants, which help promote heart health, support metabolism, and reduce inflammation. It provides a moderate caffeine boost, which helps with focus and energy levels throughout the day. The fruity and floral notes also help in digestion, and the tea can serve as a calming and relaxing beverage, ideal for unwinding after a long day.
