The Champagne of Tea

Embark on a journey through time and taste with our First Flush Darjeeling 2020, sourced exclusively from the esteemed Monteviot Tea Garden. Nestled in the southern Kurseong valley of Darjeeling, this historic garden, established in 1856, continues to uphold the tradition of crafting teas of exceptional quality.

Upon infusion, this distinguished tea reveals a beautiful, clear amber liquor, exuding a distinctive floral aroma that captivates the senses. These delicate floral notes intertwine seamlessly with the muscatel top notes, characteristic of an outstanding First Flush Darjeeling, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate.

Savor the tasting notes of this remarkable tea—a bright cup with hints of grassiness, freshness, and surprising fullness at the finish. Its unique character and well-rounded profile underscore its universal appeal and unparalleled demand among tea enthusiasts.

Graded as FTGFOP1 (Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe), our First Flush Darjeeling 2020 boasts the highest quality standards, with every leaf meticulously selected to ensure a truly exceptional tea experience.

While the supply of first-class Darjeelings may be limited this year due to shutdowns, the growing conditions leading up to the harvest were nearly ideal, with sufficient rain and warmth contributing to the tea's outstanding quality.

As you indulge in this exquisite tea, we advise against brewing it like your traditional black teas, as its delicate nature calls for a more nuanced approach to brewing to fully appreciate its nuanced flavors and aromas. Experience the essence of Darjeeling's terroir and tradition in every sip of our First Flush Darjeeling 2020—a testament to the artistry and expertise of Monteviot Tea Garden.

Please note that it is very important that this tea is not brewed like your traditional black teas.
