The first harvest, called the First Flush, is brought in January. But the region got famous for the qualities harvested in May / June: the Second-Flush. Those teas are full of character-- malty with a dark cup color. It is often enjoyed with a small spoon of fresh cream. Unlike the less strong qualities that are plucked during July to October, heavy monsoon rainfalls influence the second flush harvest and the hand-plucked premium qualities of the Second Flush aim collector’s prices.
