Barnesbeg Darjeeling First Flush

Barnesbeg Darjeeling First Flush – Hand-Plucked Spring Estate Darjeeling

Barnesbeg Darjeeling First Flush comes from the Barnesbeg Estate in the misty hills of Darjeeling, a garden recognized for producing some of India's finest teas. Grown at high altitude and hand-plucked at the very first awakening of spring, it reflects both its terroir and careful craftsmanship, and it gives specialty retailers a classic estate Darjeeling for their range.

In the cup, the tea shows a pale, luminous golden liquor and a vibrant floral aroma. The body is smooth and light, opening in delicate layers of spring blossoms, young peach and a hint of fresh herbaceous brightness. The classic first-flush character is clearly present — crisp, lively and pleasantly brisk — before a clean, lingering sweetness on the finish. Graceful and well balanced, it captures the essence of high-elevation Darjeeling in spring and serves as a good introduction to the celebrated first-flush style for customers who favor light, aromatic teas. It is best presented plain, without milk, so its floral notes remain clear. For tearooms and afternoon tea service it pairs well with fruit, light pastries, cucumber sandwiches and fresh cheeses.
