Darjeeling 1st Flush Tea

Darjeeling 1st Flush – Bright, Floral, and the Champagne of Teas

Picked in early spring from the high Himalayan slopes, Darjeeling First Flush is one of the world’s most sought-after teas — fresh, light, and wonderfully aromatic.

What Makes It Special

The "First Flush" refers to the first tender buds of the season — plucked just as the tea bushes awaken after winter. These young greenish leaves, often with silvery tips, produce a delicate golden liquor with a distinctive muscatel aroma and crisp floral notes. It’s a tea for true connoisseurs.

Origin & Craft

Sourced from high-altitude estates in the Darjeeling district of north-eastern India, including the historic Thurbo Tea Estate in Mirik Valley (1,980–2,440m). These handpicked leaves are carefully processed using traditional orthodox methods, preserving their complexity and elegance.

💡 Tea Lover’s Tip

Try it in the afternoon with light bites or fruit. Its gentle astringency and floral lift make it a perfect partner for warm days or reflective pauses.
