Seasonal Teas – Find Your Perfect Cup for Every Season

Tea is not just a drink, it is a partner that evolves according to the changing seasons. As the climate moves from the hot summer days to the first showers of the monsoon, your selection of tea could be the ideal way of embracing the season. At Octavius, we know that every season has its own mood and every mood has its own tea. Whether it is a matter of cooling yourself down, warming yourself up or merely savoring the moment, we have a range of teas for you to choose from.

The Transition: Summer to Monsoon

As the summer season starts waning and the monsoon clouds appear in the sky, the air starts smelling of expectation. While the hot temperatures start giving place to cooling weather conditions and the smell of the rains lingers in the atmosphere, it’s time that you start substituting your cold beverages with a more comforting drink. And what can be better than a spicy cup of tea like our Indian Masala Chai Black Tea? Not only does it provide warmth, but also brings that much loved flavor of home to you.

For those who prefer a lighter brew, our Cinnamon Anise Green Tea offers a soothing experience. It is the combination of sweet and spicy tones of cinnamon with the freshness of green tea that makes an ideal beverage for the rainy season of monsoon. It is a tea that relaxes the mind and uplifts the spirit, making it a wonderful choice for the season.

Summer Teas: The Cool and Refreshing

The summer season requires teas which have to be light and invigorating. The Darjeeling First Flush is an ideal tea for summers. Plucked during the early months of spring, the taste of this tea is quite light and delicate. It can be referred to as the quintessential tea of the season. It has an invigorating quality about it, which is why it should be consumed during the warm weather of summer. It can either be taken as a hot beverage or as iced tea.

Another excellent summer option is the Darjeeling Second Flush, harvested during the early summer months. This tea is described as being full bodied and muscatel, being stronger and more substantial than the first flush. Its rich and smooth liquor makes it a favourite among those who enjoy a bold yet refreshing tea during the warmer months.

Monsoon Teas: The Warm and Comforting

With the coming of the rains, the need for warm and soothing cups of tea increases. The monsoon season is associated with chai, and there can be nothing better than Indian Masala Chai during such weather conditions. It is because of the mixture of black tea with spices native to India – cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon – making the cup both energizing and comforting.

For a unique monsoon experience, try our Tulsi Ginger Green Tea. It is a unique mix of tulsi and ginger that has been blended with green tea to provide a fresh and nutritious beverage. The ingredients are all effective towards reviving the body and boosting the mind, making it a great option for cold and rainy weather.

Another versatile rain time beverage from us is our Honey Lemon Green Tea. The balance of bitter and sweet flavours creates a comforting and healthy brew that is perfect for any time of the day.

Autumn Teas: The Mellow and Fruity

As the monsoon recedes and autumn arrives, the tea gardens offer the rare and exquisite Autumn Flush. This tea is grown for about 30 days, and it is known for its smooth, sweet, and fruity flavors, giving you a well-balanced cup with less flowers than in the early flushes. This unique feature of Autumn Flush makes this tea very special.
