A very early Spring harvest tea from Rohini Tea Estate, this First Flush Darjeeling is the result of many years of refinement and hard work by our friends in India. It is a refreshing and ethereal tea ideal for warming weather after a long winter. This year’s harvest is particularly full bodied and sweet. Its flavors suggest honeydew melon, violets, and white grape juice.

Teas harvested in the Spring in Darjeeling are called “first flush” teas, and are processed more closely to a green or a white (by Chinese classification standards). Teas harvested in the summer and fall (second and third flush teas) are usually oxidized and made into darker, richer black teas. This first flush Darjeeling should be pleasing to fans of lighter and more aromatic teas.
