These leaves, called kakra leaves, create the fresh muscat flavor and aroma during the tea-making process. This is the traditional way of making muscatel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eMuscatel is not produced in all tea plantations.\u003cbr\u003e The tea is organically grown, the tea fields are continuously monitored to check for the presence of green flies, and KAKRA LEAF has the high level of skill required for tea picking and processing.\u003cbr\u003e Being able to obtain Muscatel, which is produced during a very limited period of the second flush, is a source of pride for tea buyers who purchase Darjeeling tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Tasting: The Pure China variety is characterized by its copper-brown color and rich, sweet taste. The second flush Muscatel, harvested in the summer of 2025, is a very dynamic, full-bodied black tea, with a depth of flavor reminiscent of oak and a hint of cinnamon, and a fresh fruitiness reminiscent of Muscat grapes, with these lingering aftertastes in the final notes, making it a traditional Muscatel black tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eFood pairing baked goods (financier, raisin pound cake),\u003cbr\u003e Tart (Muscat, pear),\u003cbr\u003e It pairs well with rich flower honey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e EX-SPECIAL DARJEELING 2025 SECOND FLUSH RESERVA MUSCATEL CHINA 100G JAIPURI POUCH HH0000012\u003cbr\u003e Item: Ex-Special Darjeeling 2025 Second Flush Reserva\u003cbr\u003e Muscatel China\u003cbr\u003e Ingredients: Tea\u003cbr\u003e Total Quantity: 100g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e EX-SPECIAL DARJEELING 2025 SECOND FLUSH RESERVA MUSCATEL CHINA 100G ZIP HH0000013\u003cbr\u003e Item: Ex-Special Darjeeling 2025 Second Flush Reserva\u003cbr\u003e Muscatel China\u003cbr\u003e Ingredients: Tea\u003cbr\u003e Total Quantity: 100g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e EX-SPECIAL DARJEELING 2025 SECOND FLUSH RESERVA MUSCATEL CHINA 50G ZIP HH0000014\u003cbr\u003e Item: Ex-Special Darjeeling 2025 Second Flush Reserva\u003cbr\u003e Muscatel China\u003cbr\u003e Ingredients: Tea\u003cbr\u003e Total Quantity: 50g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePlease be sure to check\u003c\/span\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/happyhunterindia.myshopify.com\/pages\/%E3%81%94%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E3%82%AC%E3%82%A4%E3%83%89\" title=\"Shopping Guide\" style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ethe shopping guide\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ebefore purchasing\u003c\/span\u003e .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HAPPY HUNTER INDIA ONLINE SHOP","offers":[{"title":"100G JAIPURI POUCH HH0000012","offer_id":42463372607547,"sku":null,"price":2030.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100G ZIP HH0000013","offer_id":42463372640315,"sku":null,"price":1910.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"50G ZIP HH0000014","offer_id":42463372673083,"sku":null,"price":990.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0366\/5064\/7611\/files\/HH0000012_07_5cfb9c18-fdf4-44cc-a2fe-2437e21edd3f.jpg?v=1758001368","url":"https:\/\/happyhunterindia.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/ex-special-darjeeling-2025-second-flush-reserva-muscatel-china","provider":"HAPPY HUNTER INDIA ONLINE SHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
