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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFlavor journey and sensory profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.
