Introducing our pick from the famed first flush harvest in Darjeeling, the 2025 Darjeeling First Flush from Avongrove Estate. Made from chinary bushes, this ticks all the boxes a Darjeeling First Flush should(fruity, floral and champagne coloured liquor) while also being a little unique! We want to stay true to offering only the finest Darjeeling and beautiful teas like these help us do that easily!
The dry leaf smells fruity, when placed on the heated ware, the fruity notes open up and you can enjoy the basket of fruits this tea is going to offer you on your first sip. On your first sip, you get notes of pear and passionfruit. On your second sip, you get a hint of white flower and oranges. On further sips, you again get some more fruits like apple, peach, muskmelon and guava. There is a refreshing hint of mint and cardamom too, not dominating enough to steal the show from the fruit basket and just the right amount to add a nice bite to the liquor. There is a hint of mango too, as the liquor cools down. The fruity sweetness is unmatchable, not like sugar or honey but just like the fruit juice. We are sure you would love this delightful tea from the beautiful region of Darjeeling.
