Description
Darjeeling Badamtam First Flush – a wonderful example of an organic first flush tea from a garden nestled in the serene, mist-kissed hills of the Lebong Valley in Darjeeling.
This organic first flush tea captures the very essence of spring in the Himalayas. The estate’s lush terraces, surrounded by rolling green slopes and morning fog, create an idyllic environment where tea plants thrive at high altitudes.
Harvested from carefully tended clonal plants, the leaves develop slowly, producing a tea with refined complexity. The dry leaf presents a mix of wiry, dark green foliage with delicate tips, promising a fresh and lively infusion. In the cup, the tea pours a pale golden-green liquor, revealing a delicate floral aroma complemented by bright, muscatel notes and a gentle, lingering sweetness.
Perfect for those who appreciate the elegance and subtlety of a classic Darjeeling, this first flush invites you to savour a truly authentic taste of the Himalayan spring.
This very affordable first flush tea from the 2025 harvest is light, floral and fresh. A real treat for Darjeeling connoisseurs and those just starting to explore Darjeeling first flush tea.
