Description

This is our first new crop tea of 2013. The high altitude of Darjeeling makes for distinct seasons, beginning each year with a cold winter dormant period. Then when the weather begins to warm in March, the bushes put forth their first leaves of the year, known as the “first flush.” The cool weather makes for very slow growth, which greatly concentrates the flavor and allows for very selective plucking. This tea is from the renowned Puttabong Estate, and has a bright fragrance and fresh flavor with a nutty honey sweetness.
