Harvested on the 3rd of April from tea bushes nestled at a breathtaking altitude of 4,000 feet. These lush, cloud-kissed slopes create a tea which enchants the taste buds and nourishes the body in perfect harmony.
| A Healthy Cuppa The art of oxidation, which transforms the tea leaves into what we recognize as black tea, creates theaflavins—a type of polyphenol with powerful antioxidant properties. These natural compounds are believed to support heart health by reducing cholesterol, promoting a healthy gut microbiome and aiding in the prevention of plaque buildup. |
| The Balance of Caffeine and L-theanine Unlike the sharp spikes and crashes that coffee drinkers may experience, tea offers a smoother ride, thanks to the presence of L-theanine. This amino acid works harmoniously with caffeine promoting a calm and alert state—perfect for enhancing focus and elevating your mood without the jitters. In addition, due to the high caffeine content in tea, it takes a lot less per gram to make a brew. You would usually only use 2-3 grams of tea for a cup, whereas the average amount of coffee per cup is around 10 grams. Darjeeling First Flush is a lot gentler on the system. Deeply flavourful with essential oils from the freshest and youngest buds of the year. |
| The Ritual Every cup of First Flush is an invitation to slow down and savour the moment. As you brew this exceptional tea, take a moment to appreciate the journey it has made—from the misty hills of Darjeeling to your teacup. Each sip is a reminder that tea is more than just a drink; it’s a connection to nature, tradition, and a sense of well-being. Join us in celebrating this remarkable tea. Brew a cup, breathe in its delicate aroma, and let yourself be transported to the serene slopes of Darjeeling. |
