Crafted for Radiance.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBegin your day with a moment of pure, golden brilliance. The Darjeeling Aurora by Ember \u0026amp; Olive Coffee Co. is an exceptional, single-origin black tea harvested during the celebrated second flush season in West Bengal, India.

Elegant, complex, and gently uplifting, each sip is an invitation to awaken your senses and embrace a morning of focused clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Brief History of the \"Champagne of Teas\"\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNestled in the foothills of the majestic Himalayas, the Darjeeling district of West Bengal produces a tea so rare and complex that it holds Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status — meaning true Darjeeling can be grown nowhere else on Earth. Discovered by tea connoisseurs in the 19th century, the region's unique high-altitude climate, rich volcanic soil, and steep mountain slopes cause the tea bushes to grow slowly, concentrating their essential oils. The legendary Second Flush (summer harvest) is the crown jewel of the region. It is world-renowned for producing a distinct, highly sought-after \"muscatel\" character. When you brew Darjeeling Aurora, you are enjoying a legendary Himalayan ritual celebrated by tea royalty for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMuscatel Grape:\u003c\/strong\u003e A rare, sophisticated sweetness reminiscent of sun-ripened Muscat grapes and fine wine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrisp Amber Nut:\u003c\/strong\u003e Subtle, warm undertones of toasted almond and oak that ground the cup's brightness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSummer Meadow:\u003c\/strong\u003e A lively, fragrant floral aroma that blooms beautifully as the tea steeps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouthfeel \u0026amp; Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light-to-medium bodied, wonderfully crisp, with a clean, refreshing, and slightly astringent finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy It's Special\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthentic Second Flush:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sourced exclusively from the summer harvest, capturing the peak flavor profiles and deepest amber colors of the season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand-Plucked Artisanal Quality:\u003c\/strong\u003e Consists only of the finest \"two leaves and a bud,\" handled with absolute care to keep the whole leaves intact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMesmerizing Visuals:\u003c\/strong\u003e The leaves unfurl beautifully in hot water, transitioning into a vibrant, glowing orange-gold liquor that pairs exquisitely with glass teapots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% Pure \u0026amp; Single-Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e No artificial flavorings, fillers, or additives — just the unadulterated taste of the world's finest tea terroir.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBrewing Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScoop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use 1 teaspoon of loose leaves per cup into your infuser.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add freshly boiled water cooled slightly to 90°C–95°C (to preserve the delicate, light-bodied leaves).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteep:\u003c\/strong\u003e Infuse for 3 to 4 minutes — watch for the signature copper-orange color to bloom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnjoy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best enjoyed purely on its own to appreciate the complex tasting notes, or with a tiny dash of sweetener if preferred.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Single-Origin Darjeeling Second Flush Black Tea leaves (Camellia sinensis).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaffeine Content:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium (Perfect for a bright, clean morning energy boost).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDietary Info:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegan, Gluten-Free, Keto-Friendly, Non-GMO.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eco-friendly, heat-sealed, resealable pouch to lock in the delicate mountain freshness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ember \u0026 Olive Coffee Co.","offers":[{"title":"25 Pyramid Teabags","offer_id":54126565949767,"sku":"705977","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g Loose Leaf","offer_id":54126565982535,"sku":"705989","price":32.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/0579\/9751\/files\/PerchedonthemajesticAndeanslopesoftheAntioquiaregion_Colombiancoffeeisuniversallycelebratedastheglobalgoldstandardofbalance.ThisisacelebrationofuniqueColombianterroir.png?v=1781102460","url":"https:\/\/www.emberolivecoffee.shop\/products\/darjeeling-aurora-second-flush-black-tea","provider":"Ember \u0026 Olive Coffee Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
