Product Description
First Flush Tea
In India, tea plants are harvested three times a year: the first flush, the second flush, and the autumn flush. Darjeeling First Flush Tea is one of the most cherished and well-known first flush teas.
The first flush of a tea plant’s harvest season occurs in late winter or early spring, generally between March and April. The leaves taken during the First Flush are the youngest and most sensitive, yielding the purest and freshest cup of tea. Each subsequent flush has a distinct flavour and perfume, representing the changing seasons.
The first flush is preferred by tea lovers because of its superior flavour, smoothness, and purity.
