Classic First Flush is an authentic and traditional Darjeeling tea from the high elevations of the Gopaldhara Tea Estate. The low temperature experienced during winters gives this tea a very well-defined, smooth character. The tea is harvested from bushes that are more than 135 years old and were initially planted by the British.

The first flush yields 100% growing shoots and excellent buds with either a single leaf or two leaves and a bud. The flavor is prominent as the weather is also dry and cool, ensuring slow growth.

The plucking is of such fine quality that the tea can only be hand-sorted, and the machines used to make the tea are very few in number. The garden workers carefully pluck the leaves by hand and pick only the best shoots with prominent buds. Authentic Darjeeling First Flush Teas are known to be slightly oxidized. This tea is also made in the same way but is sufficiently oxidized to ensure that all the exquisite flavors are prominently present.

This tea has a traditional Darjeeling fresh flavor with a prominent flowery character. It is very light on the palate with a sweet and smooth, clean leather flavor. It has a very strong and pronounced aftertaste that lingers on for quite some time.
