The original Giddapahar style Darjeeling First Flush 2013 tea made from pure china tea bushes. Giddapahar Tea Estate is one tea garden where 95% of the tea plantation area is under chinary tea bushes. They have a very small clonal section as well, but when it comes to china grade, they do bulk production. Its a small family owned tea garden where intricate care is done on its processing trying to get the best of the flavors. Mr. Sudhangshu, the owner of the tea garden sampled us a number of DJ samples and we liked the one we bought “DJ 3” and two more invoices. We got some bargain as well while picking some greater amount of the tea. We bought three DJs of which 2 were for our wholesale client. Its a marvelous tea!

As a classic graded tea made from pure china tea bushes and also being a First Flush, the cup doesn’t differ and has a light liqor, pale golden-yellow cup. The cup is light and bright which reflects back to the hands of time, at the time of careful manufacture. It has a definite briskness which intrigues the tongue with freshness and relaxation. The liqor becomes a well rounded cup if done with the correct steeping time. 3 minutes is recommended for steeping because the tea can turn bitter if steeped for longer time and the smoothness can be lost. It gives you a beautiful mouth-feel filling with all its characteristics that refers to being invigorating, sweet, almondy (nutty) and flowery.
