First Flush Teas

The Winter period in Darjeeling traditionally lasts from November to March. It is a dry season and the tea bushes, pruned at the end of the previous year are dormant without foliage. As the rains arrive around the end of March the first leaves of the year begin to appear. This is Darjeeling's First Flush famous for its light bodied liquors and exceptional aromatic qualities. The teas from this season offer a vast selection of perfumes and flavours within the distinct flavour characteristics of the Darjeeling District.

Selimbong DJ-2 FTGFOP (China)2005
A smooth light First Flush made from a pure China leaf. Very typical Selimbong, amber liquor, clear notes, uncomplicated body with a full set of china style aromatics while retaining very distinct Darjeeling characteristics.

Gopaldhara DJ-41 Oolong First Flush 2005
NEW ARRIVAL From one of Darjeeling's highest sections, over 2500m ASL, this seductive oolong is very similar to the highly-praised WT-13 of 2003. An exceptional semi-oxidized tea with a small, coppery leaf. A very fine combination of the clear floral garden notes we have come to expect from Gopaldhara’s high-grown teas with a rich, sweet, fruity cup. Texture has a pleasant, smooth viscosity, aftertaste full, and overall balance a cut above the rest. "As the DJ-29 is a voluminous whole leaf tea a slightly larger mesure than usual. Darjeeling is very much a black tea region as you know so their "oolongs" are adjusted from the leaf and processing specific to that domain. With this approach in mind explore the effect that a 35% oxidation has on their prize leaf; the world class plant matter softened and enriched by the conversion of a gentle fermentation."K.G.

Samabeong DJ1 FTGFOP1 First Flush 2005
From the highest point of this isolated garden, 2750m ASL and the highest in the Darjeeling District. This invoice is a rare coming together of all the necessary factors, natural and manufactured, for an outstanding First Flush black tea. Perfect balance of a full flavour with a slightly leafy edge and explosive aromatics. Full lingering aftertaste.
