This is an organic First Flush Darjeeling from Samabeong, one of Darjeeling's highest tea estates, with plantations at over 2000 metres above sea level. The farm is secluded in the north-eastern part of Darjeeling, in the Kalimpong district, and benefits from the area's mild and humid microclimate.
This batch consists of an exclusive selection hand-harvested in early spring from the farm's highest vineyards. For a First Flush Darjeeling, the first stage of production - the withering - is more pronounced, and it is this stage that results in the light, green character that characterises these teas. Our Darjeeling Samabeong First Flush has a delicate, well-balanced and refreshing flavour palette with classic Darjeeling character with notes of fresh greenery, lemongrass, mango and chrysanthemum.
Origin: Darjeeling, India. Harvest: First Flush, 2021.
