An iconic taste of the season, Darjeeling First Flush tea is eagerly awaited each spring. These light-bodied, distinctive teas are produced in small quantities for just a few weeks, usually beginning in early April; only the new young buds and first leaves are hand-harvested, and they undergo a unique hard withering process. A bright, green aroma and character defines this lot (DJ 5) from the organic, high elevation Jungpana Estate. Brisk flavors of dandelion root, walnut and herby pesto bring to mind spring fields after rain. It’s an eye-opening cup at any time of the day.
