First Flush refers to the first harvest of the year in the Darjeeling Region. Darjeeling lovers around the world eagerly await the new arrivals every year, similar to the wine connoisseur’s excitement about the new Beaujolais. Comprised of the first tender shoots of the newly grown tea plant, First Flush Darjeelings tend to be light in cup color with delicate floral aroma and flavor.
SpecialTeas frequently uses special air transport to ensure the utmost freshness of these treasured teas.
