This variety of tea is clear, light and extremely aromatic and of course commands the highest price in international markets. The second or summer flush arrives between June and mid-August. This tea is darker and has a stronger flavour. The third or autumn flush comes in October and November and this one is full-bodied, dark and quite strong. Internatoinal Tea Day is for celebrating tea, central to so many cultures and contributing to the employment of millions of people. Whether you are feeling sleepy, tired, cold or worried - a cup of tea can be the perfect solution. Happy International Tea Day!
