Darjeeling First Flush | 大吉嶺春摘紅茶

 Cultivar: AV2 clonal
 Elevation: 2060m
 Oxidation: ⦿⦿○○○


This spring harvest tea tastes like green tea with a champagne-like muscatel sweetness.

Why we love it:

  • It's made of delicate new leaves harvested in the early onset of spring, the most premium grade of Darjeeling, sourced from a top tea estate.
  • It's called the "Champagne of teas" for its signature muscatel grape flavour. 
  • It is much greener (less oxidised) than most black teas, and tastes light and refreshing with a pale yellow liquor.
  • It has an abundance of buds, the most prized part of the tea plant, which give it a delicate sweetness and a softer texture.
