Details
A limited-edition First flush Darjeeling oolong crafted from select B-157 cultivars harvested at the very beginning of the season. Following a long winter dormancy, the first tender leaves emerge with remarkable freshness, aromatic intensity, and clarity, making this early harvest one of the most anticipated teas of the year.
Carefully plucked as two leaves and a bud, the leaves undergo minimal handling and gentle natural oxidation overnight to preserve their delicate spring character. The result is a beautifully expressive tea that balances freshness, floral elegance, and fruit-driven complexity.
The bright green leaves brew into a luminous golden liquor with vibrant floral aromas and a refined, silky texture. Notes of peach, vanilla, olive, and fresh orchard fruits unfold across the palate, creating a cup that is light, smooth, and remarkably clean.
Free from vegetal harshness and astringency, the finish is refreshing, lingering, and distinctly memorable.
