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.

George ★★★★★

I order this every spring and the muscatel notes in the first flush are what keep me coming back. It's lighter than the second flush but has this bright, almost floral finish that's perfect for mornings. Steeping it around 3 minutes brings out the best in it.

Leo ★★★★★

The first flush really does live up to the champagne comparison, light and floral with almost no bitterness. I brewed it at 90°C for three minutes and the muscatel notes came through clean. Ordered the wholesale size for my office and it's gone in two weeks.

I was expecting something bitter and got the opposite — this first flush is so light and floral it almost drinks like a white tea. The muscatel note comes through around the second steep, which surprised me for the price. Genuinely the smoothest Darjeeling I've had in a while.
