First Flush Darjeeling

This is the champagne of teas; the spectrum of Darjeeling teas range from mild and light to spicy and aromatic.

The first flush has a particularly delicate, floral taste. The leaves of the processed first flush should be dark. However, there may be some greenish, i.e. incompletely fermented leaves. The infusion of a good first flush varies in color from light gold to amber to golden-green.
