Buy Darjeeling First Flush Tea 2025 – Fresh, Rare & Exquisite

Nestled in the misty hills of Darjeeling, the Risheehat Tea Estate is renowned for producing some of India’s most coveted first flush teas, harvested in early spring (March-April) when the tender new leaves emerge after winter dormancy. These teas are celebrated for their delicate, aromatic complexity, often marked by vibrant floral notes, crisp and refreshing – a hallmark of Darjeeling’s “Champagne of Teas.” Risheehat’s first flush offerings, grown at elevations of 3000-6000 feet, benefit from the region’s cool climate and mineral-rich soil, which imbue the leaves with a luminous greenish-jade hue and wiry, elongated appearance. The estate employs traditional Orthodox methods, combining careful plucking (typically “two leaves and a bud”) with meticulous withering and rolling to preserve the tea’s natural brightness and nuanced character. Recent innovations include clonal cultivars, such as those used in the Risheehat Floral Spring, AV2 in this case, which amplify floral and citrus undertones while retaining the terroir-driven elegance Darjeeling is famed for. Prized by connoisseurs, Risheehat’s first flush teas are a seasonal treasure, capturing the ephemeral essence of spring in every cup.
