Details
Harvested during the prized First flush season, this elegant Darjeeling black tea is crafted from carefully selected whole leaves grown in the cool mountain climate of the Himalayas. The slow growth of the early spring harvest gives the tea its distinctive freshness, clarity, and refined character.
The greenish leaves brew into a bright golden-yellow liquor with a delicate floral aroma and vibrant spring-like freshness. Light-bodied and crisp, the cup reveals notes of fresh flowers, gentle sweetness, and subtle orchard fruits, balanced by a lively briskness that brings structure and brightness to the infusion.
Clean, refreshing, and beautifully expressive, this classic first flush tea finishes with a lingering character that reflects the purity and elegance of Darjeeling's early harvest. A versatile everyday tea for those who appreciate the freshness and sophistication of fine mountain-grown teas.
