Darjeeling SFTGFOP1 1st Flush – The Champagne of Teas
This exquisite tea hails from the misty slopes of Darjeeling, nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas. The 1st flush refers to the first harvest of the season, typically
occurring in March and April, when the tea bushes awaken after winter dormancy.
These early leaves are prized for their light, floral character and bright golden liquor.
Graded SFTGFOP1 — Super
Fine Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe Grade 1 — this tea consists of young, whole leaves with a high proportion of tender tips, indicating

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.
