{"product_id":"darjeeling-orange-pekoe","title":"Darjeeling Second Flush, 2026","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eDarjeeling's second flush is what built the region's reputation. It arrives in early summer, when longer days and warm afternoon sun meet cool nights at altitude. The leaves respond with a deeper, more complex expression: the muscatel character that no other tea region in the world has been able to replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis second flush comes from Okayti Tea Estate, one of Darjeeling's oldest gardens, established in 1888. The estate sits at elevations where morning fog and sharp nighttime drops slow the leaves' growth just enough to concentrate flavor. Each leaf is hand-plucked selectively, only the bud and the two youngest leaves, then processed using traditional on-estate methods that let the terroir speak for itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhat arrives in the cup is layered. Muscatel grape up front, honeyed sweetness through the middle, a clean aromatic finish that lingers. There's a brightness here that separates it from heavier black teas, a quality Darjeeling drinkers recognize instantly and newcomers never forget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis isn't a blend labeled \"Darjeeling.\" It's a single-estate, single-flush tea with a specific origin you can trace back to the hillside it grew on.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Living Roots","offers":[{"title":"30g","offer_id":44151464296534,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60g","offer_id":44151464329302,"sku":null,"price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample","offer_id":44151464362070,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/4145\/3910\/files\/Darjeeling_Orange_Pekoe.webp?v=1772501638","url":"https:\/\/www.livingrootsusa.com\/products\/darjeeling-orange-pekoe","provider":"Living Roots","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
