The 'first flush' tea of the spring in Darjeeling is famous for its lively bite and abundance of fresh flavor. These rare teas look almost like green teas, but they are actually black tea. Our Spring Darjeeling is a spirited embodiment of these qualities. This year’s DJ1 offers a fresh bouquet of bright fruit blossom notes. Silky texture with white grape, floral, and sultana notes with a hint of minerality and a soft finish. This tea comes to us from the Rohini Tea Estate located in the Kurseong valley of Darjeeling, India. Its elevation of roughly 4400 ft imparts complexity to the infusion. Our 2020 first of the year, super early, late February harvest is a rarity that we could not pass up. Limited availability!

This Darjeeling is outstanding, such a light and mellow flavor with just a slight grassy flavor, I steeped it 3 times and it just kept getting better.

I love the earthy taste of this tea with its sweet malty and raisin notes. Very smooth and sippable hot or cold. Lovely aroma and taste. So good!!

This first-flush darjeeling has a really bready aroma, with notes of raisins, well balanced, delicious.
