First Flush

At the foot of the Himalayas in India lies Darjeeling, one of the world’s most famous tea regions. Here, the tea plants grow high in the mountains, surrounded by cool mountain air. This is precisely what gives Darjeeling tea its distinctive and delicate character.

In Darjeeling, there are four harvest periods throughout the year.
First Flush is the very first harvest after the long winter dormancy. These teas are often referred to as the “champagne of teas” – prized for their light and clean taste and notes of flowers, citrus and the first scents of spring.

We have handpicked a few rare First Flush teas from Darjeeling for you – delicate teas with a character all their own.
