DARJEELING FIRST FLUSH BLACK TEA:

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



DARJEELING, INDIA:

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.

Ava ★★★★★

Steeped this at 195°F for three minutes and got that bright muscatel thing everyone talks about with first flush. It's lighter than an Assam but somehow still has this spicy finish that lingers. Been drinking it every morning this week instead of coffee.

Charlotte X. ★★★★★

The aroma alone is worth the wait – fresh and slightly muscatel, exactly what I hoped for from a first flush.

Zoe I. ★★★★★

The first flush is so light and floral compared to the darker Darjeelings I usually drink, almost like a green tea with a muscatel edge. Steeping it at 90°C for three minutes kept the astringency down. This really is the champagne of teas.
