Risheehat Darjeeling First Flush

This is Darjeeling First Flush tea from Spring harvest of the Risheehat Tea Estate. It is golden-yellow in color and has a fruity-aromatic aroma with a hint of floral notes. The tea is made from the first picked buds and tenderest leaves (First Flush). Due to the height of 1500m the harvest time is relatively late. However, the slow growth pays off because the tea leaves have more time to form and concentrate the flavors.
