Darjeeling First Flush (Rohini Estate)

High in the misty hills of the Kurseong Valley in Darjeeling, India, the first harvest of the season quietly unfolds…tender leaves gathered at just the right moment, carrying the freshness of early spring in every curl.
 
This Rohini First Flush is a tea of subtle complexity…light yet layered, delicate yet expressive. As it steeps, the cup reveals a soft golden glow and a gently unfolding profile…floral notes drifting forward first, followed by a hint of almond and a smooth, almost creamy sweetness reminiscent of vanilla.
 
There is a light astringency…just enough to give it structure…balanced by a clean, lingering finish that feels refined rather than bold.
 
This is not a tea for rushing.
It is a tea for noticing…
for quiet moments, slow mornings, and thoughtful pauses in between.
A true expression of the season…fresh, elegant, and beautifully alive.
