First Bloom Eco

Premium First Flush Darjeeling Black Tea

Loose Leaf Tea | Darjeeling First Flush | Premium Black Tea

Caffeine Level: MEDIUM

Tea Type: Black Tea

Welcome spring into your cup with first flush Darjeeling black tea, the season's very first harvest, plucked in the cool mountain air as the gardens wake from winter. Just as true Champagne can only come from one region of France, true Darjeeling can only come from the misty Himalayan slopes of its namesake, which is why it has long been celebrated as the Champagne of teas. First Bloom is sa small batch of specially handcrafted fine tea for Brook37 by the renowned Margaret's Hope estate. It pours a pale golden liquor with an aroma like a garden after rain. Each sip is silky and light, unfolding into wild orchid, sweet fresh-cut grass, and a soft finish of ripe white peach. Crafted as Darjeeling premium first flush black tea and certified authentic with the Darjeeling logo, this limited seasonal tea is gathered only once a year, and once it's gone, it's gone until next spring. Brew a cup, slow down, and taste the season at its most delicate.
