Darjeeling First Flush Blend - Premium Estate Black Tea

First flush teas are the season's opening statement: harvested in early spring when the renewed plant produces its most delicate, aromatic leaf. This blend brings together high-grade first flush teas for a consistently exceptional cup of golden copper elegance.

First flush Darjeeling is prized by tea connoisseurs the world over for its extraordinary lightness, floral complexity, and muscatel character, the distinctive musky-sweet note that only appears in the finest spring harvests. This blend delivers that character with admirable consistency, combining select first flush teas to produce a refined, golden copper liquor with elegant fruity undertones and a beautifully balanced malty sweetness. Equally good with or without milk.


Why You'll Love It

  • Seasonal rarity, year-round: First flush teas represent the best of the spring harvest, this blend brings that consistent quality to every cup
  • Elegant and complex: Malty sweetness, delicate fruit, and the subtle muscatel character that defines fine Darjeeling-style teas
  • Golden copper liquor: A beautiful, amber-gold cup that is as pleasing to look at as it is to drink
  • Versatile brewing: Exceptional on its own, and equally good with a splash of milk

Origins & Character

The liquor is a refined golden copper with a bright, inviting clarity. The aroma carries floral and malty notes, leading to a flavour that is smooth and balanced, malty sweetness at the fore, with underlying hints of dried fruit and a smooth, chocolate-adjacent finish. The tannins are present but gentle, making this a tea that is full of character without being astringent.


Functional & Wellness Benefits

Sourced from high-grade, carefully selected first flush estate teas, this blend is assembled to deliver the character of premium spring-harvest leaf with impressive consistency. The thin, wiry leaves are indicative of the quality and care taken in processing, and the resulting cup reflects the skill of experienced tea growers and blenders.


Our Darjeeling First Flush Blend is an invitation to explore fine tea at its most expressive. Order today with same-day dispatch on orders placed before 3pm, and experience the magic of the first flush harvest.
