Organic Darjeeling First Flush 2026 Nurbong FTGFOP1 DJ1
This organic Darjeeling first flush tea comes from the historic Nurbong Tea Estate in the southern Darjeeling district of Kurseong. At an altitude of around 1,200 meters, the tea plants grow on steep, forested slopes beneath natural shade trees. The slow growth promotes a particularly delicate and complex flavor profile.
Cool mists, high humidity, and nutrient-rich soils define the quality of this first flush. Picking is done by hand using the time-honored “two leaves and a bud” method. The early DJ1 harvest represents the first and freshest selection of the season.
In the cup, it presents a clear, light golden appearance. In terms of flavor, the tea impresses with a lively freshness. Floral notes combine with a delicate citrus structure, reminiscent of green apple. The character remains lively, elegant, and clean on the finish.
