Comprised of the first tender shoots of the newly grown tea plant, First Flush Darjeeling tea is a seasonal tea offering that is applauded by tea enthusiasts around the world. Our 2021 offering is organically cultivated at the Tindharia Estate and comes from a young plot of new 100% AV2 clonal bushes, which are just coming into mature production.
This loose Darjeeling First Flush black tea is an exceptional spring picking with a fresh, vegetal mouth feel at the start developing smoothly towards more floral and fruity notes with a delicate astringency. Their Clonal character is up front with strong herbaceous and floral aromas, which should continue to build over the next few years into full maturity.
When brewed, it yields a light gold infusion with a uniquely intoxicating muscatel bouquet. Typical of a stand out First Flush Darjeeling, it finishes with a pleasing citrus sweetness on the palate.
