First Flush Darjeeling

What does "First Flush Mean?"

First Flush Darjeeling, harvested in spring from the Camellia Sinensis plant's first buds, is a rare delight cherished by tea aficionados. Its light, delicate flavor, marked by floral notes and a crisp astringency, distinguishes it from the heartier second flush. Infused with hues ranging from golden to amber to green, it offers a tantalizing taste reminiscent of lychees with a hint of caramel.
