This First Flush Tea is from the Giddapahar Tea Estate of Darjeeling. Only 14 kgs were created to celebrate spring in the ‘Queen of the hills’! The plucking took place when the mountains were still misty and cloudy from winter, with the first notes of  spring being observed on the tea bushes. A typical blooming, floral character can be felt in every sip.

PAIRING SUGGESTION

An excellent bed tea. An absolute awakener. Very good during morning hours and late afternoons with rather bland food.

BEST ENJOYABLE

A morning and late afternoon drink. Can be enjoyed anywhere. The use of a tea cosy over the tea pot during infusion is recommended for enhancing the floral notes within.

HEALTH BENEFITS

Studies have shown tea can tune up immune cell so they reach their targets quicker. Darjeeling Tea has been used by Ayurvedic practitioners for centuries to help keep the immune system strong after injuries or illnesses thanks to its antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties.
