Description
xA vibrant First Flush Darjeeling from a certified organic garden
The Tao of Tea presents a First Flush Darjeeling grown in the Mirik district, roughly an hour from the town of Darjeeling, at a certified organic tea garden. The cool, hillside terroir and the age of the plants contribute to teas that can feel robust yet pleasantly flowery. First Flush refers to the early-season pickings, typically March to mid-April, when freshness and fragrance are at their peak. Each batch reflects the day’s harvest mix, making every tin a slightly unique experience.
We work with a particular garden to select leaves from a consistent varietal and age. Our processing approach favors lighter oxidation to preserve a greener leaf profile and to highlight tip-rich batches, yielding a complex texture and a lively bounce in flavor. This thoughtful selection helps deliver a cup that’s approachable, aromatic, and easy to enjoy across different moments in the day.
Flavor journey and sensory profile
The brew is light and brisk, with a crisp finish and a delicate sweetness. Expect a refined aroma that carries floral hints and a gentle fruit-like lift, anchored by a characteristic muscatel note that many Darjeeling lovers seek. The overall impression remains bright and balanced, with enough structure to hold its own beside a light snack or a quiet solo enjoyment.
- Light brew with a crisp, slightly dry finish

- Subtle, approachable profile that pairs well with snacks
- Ideal for a refreshing morning or afternoon ritual
