Darjeeling Samabeong 1st Flush

This is an organic First Flush Darjeeling from Samabeong, one of Darjeeling's highest tea estates, with plantations at over 2000 metres above sea level. The farm is secluded in the north-eastern part of Darjeeling, in the Kalimpong district, and benefits from the area's mild and humid microclimate.
This batch consists of an exclusive selection hand-harvested in early spring from the farm's highest vineyards. For a First Flush Darjeeling, the first stage of production - the withering - is more pronounced, and it is this stage that results in the light, green character that characterises these teas. Our Darjeeling Samabeong First Flush has a delicate, well-balanced and refreshing flavour palette with classic Darjeeling character with notes of fresh greenery, lemongrass, mango and chrysanthemum.
Origin: Darjeeling, India. Harvest: First Flush, 2021.

D arjeeling Samabeong 1st Flush is well suited for multiple infusions. The second infusion is best kept short, as the leaves have already started to open and release their flavours. The following infusions, on the other hand, should be left to rest a little longer, so that the flavours deepen and the nuances emerge. For many teas, two or three infusions with the above parameters are enough, but some keep on giving, cup after cup.
