Package:

First flush Darjeeling is one of the shortest and smallest tea harvests worldwide and produces some of the most sought after, dazzling teas. This plucking from the 2nd day of harvest at Pussimbing Estate boasts flavors of muscatel grape, burnt sugar and sage.

Tasting Notes:Muscatel grape, burnt sugar and sage

For best flavor, bring spring or freshly drawn filtered water to a boil (212 degrees). Steep 1 rounded tsp (2.5 g) loose leaf for four minutes while pondering the rotation of the earth.

1st Flush Darjeeling

Indian Black Tea

Darjeeling, once a British hill station, is known for producing some of the world’s most prized and expensive teas. The high elevation of Dajeeling tea gardens puts stress on the bushes and results in teas of exceptionally nuanced flavor. Less oxidized compared to later flushes, first flushes are lighter in body and greenish in color, with notes quince, wintergreen and sage.
