Glenburn Darjeeling First Flush

According to our friends at Glenburn:

Glenburn Tea Estate in Darjeeling is where the magnificent peaks of the third highest mountain in the world, Mount Kanchenjunga, ascends over the tea bushes of Glenburn, - a name that literally means what this 750 hectare estate is - A River Valley. Here in the hills of Darjeeling, tea rises out of the magical landscape imbibing the essence of the eternal Himalayas. In the peace and tranquility of Glenburn a flourishing community of people and tea bushes thrive together as they have done for the past 150 years.

Made from only the finest tender shoots plucked from our clonal sections during the onset of spring at Glenburn, this stylishly made tea with a beautiful bloom and an abundance of silver tips is pure springtime in a cup. The liquor is light and bright, smooth on the palate with undertones of citrus flowers and peach. Full of aroma, it embodies all the attributes of the finest Darjeeling First Flush tea.

To taste the tea is light, sharp and crisp, with notes of citrus and flowers. The dry leaf has distinctive light green leaves characteristic of a First Flush Darjeeling, with some silvery tips. The wet leaf aroma is fruity and sweet. The liquor is a golden colour.

Each cup should contain 2.5g of tea and 200ml of water brewed at 90°C - 95°C for 3-4 minutes.
