First Flush Darjeeling - Campione

The color of the first steep is so pale I almost thought I brewed it wrong, but the cup is incredibly smooth with a delicate, almost grassy note that lingers nicely. This sample's perfect for someone like me who wants to test a lighter Darjeeling before committing to a full tin.

The floral aroma hits you right after the first steep, and the cup stays surprisingly light and crisp even as it cools. This sample’s a perfect way to explore that champagne-of-teas character without committing to a full tin.

Took a sip and actually laughed out loud at how light and floral it is, like spring in a cup. That first flush character really does live up to the champagne comparison—mild, but with a subtle spicy kick that lingers just enough.
