Darjeeling is not just about breathtaking views it’s the “Champagne of Teas.” If you’re a tea lover, timing your visit makes all the difference.

• First Flush (March – April): Known as the “Champagne of Darjeeling Tea,” this harvest produces delicate and floral flavors. Perfect for tea connoisseurs.

• Second Flush (May – June): Stronger, musky teas with amber color. This is the favorite season for global tea buyers.

• Autumn Flush (October – November): Rich, full-bodied teas with a unique briskness. Ideal for travelers who want to combine sightseeing with tea tasting.

• Winter (December – February): Tea gardens rest, but you can still enjoy estate tours and scenic beauty.

Travel Tip: If tea is your main attraction, plan your trip in spring or autumn. Book guided tea tours with Darjeeling Cab for an authentic experience.
