2025 First Flush: Spring's Cup of Refreshment
We are excited to bring you this year’s first spring Darjeeling leaves from Jungpana Estate. First planted at the turn of the 20th century, the south-facing tea slopes of the Jungpana Estate are located in a remote area in Darjeeling near Kurseong, a misty land of rolling hills at 3,000 to 5,500 feet.
From the small Jungpana Estate, this first flush tea displays bold leaves laced with delicate silver tips. This lively golden cup features herbaceous notes of spring flowers, complemented by a refreshing hint of citrus zest and a lingering touch of pineapple sweetness in the crisp finish. Plucking date: March 20, 2025.
We have air-freighted this hand-plucked Darjeeling to ensure the freshest cup possible. Regarded as the ultimate tea experience, only limited quantities are available. Enjoy sip by sip.
Lovers of the leaf, rejoice! The dormancy period is over and the Darjeeling hillsides are radiant with young, fragrant leaves. Rich in flavor, these leaves steep a delicate cup, sure to delight the senses.
This artwork titled Rite of Spring was created by artist Suzie Buchholz in oil paint and oil stick. Capturing the light-hearted freshness of early springtime, with its bright foliage in vibrant hues, announcing the arrival of the season.
This is the twenty-third in the Darjeeling Art Collectors' Series.
This first flush Darjeeling tea has less than half the amount of caffeine per cup than in a similar-sized cup of coffee. More about caffeine.
Fill your kettle with fresh, filtered water and heat to just short of boiling (195° F). Warm your teapot by swirling steamy water in it and then pour it out. Place one teaspoon of tea leaves per 6 oz of water into your pot or infusing basket. Pour the heated water over the tea leaves and infuse for 2-3 minutes. Serve the tea. Avoid letting the leaves stew. Enjoy sip by sip. Add the used tea leaves to your garden. They make a healthy fertilizer for plants.

This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars Respectable. Darjeeling is my favorite black tea by far and the First Flush Darjeelings are totally worth it. That said, I think 2019 is still my favorite and I will keep chasing that experience again every year
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I recently purchased the 2025 First Flush Darjeeling Black Leaf Tea. I have made several pots of the tea, it is delicious and is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I will definitely purchase again!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love Darjeeling, and this is an excellent first flush. I plan to order more to stock up.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Really interesting flavor that lands between black and green tea. Very comforting
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars My First Flush experience was by enjoying a family member's Mother's Day gift. I have tasted Darjeeling tea before. I enjoy it and yet First Flush is a step above. I felt a bit spoiled by the tea party atmosphere, but after 4 delightful cups of this refreshingly light yet fragrant tea, I now want to feel spoiled on a much more regular basis, by adding it to my personal tea closet. This tea and it's tin make a beautiful and highly prized gift.
