In order to classify Darjeeling tea into several grades, leaf quality and harvest season are taken into account. Due to their superior quality and distinct flavors, first flush teas (harvested in spring) and second flush teas (harvested in summer) are among the most sought after. There is a strong emphasis on floral notes in the first flush, whereas the second flush has a more robust flavor.
The most popular Darjeeling tea is black, but the white and oolong varieties, because they are less processed and rarer, tend to be more expensive.
