More about this product

The Darjeeling connoisseur’s favourite flush, First Flush Darjeeling is a harmonious blend of leaves from tea gardens in India's Darjeeling district, resulting in a refreshing tea with a light amber appearance and aroma. Unlike our Second Flush Darjeeling, this loose leaf comes from the first spring harvest of crops (from March to May). Our Darjeeling’s FTGFOP1 tea grading denotes how only the youngest tender buds of the tea plant make up this tea.

First Flush Darjeeling Tea is best enjoyed in your grandparent's kitchen, with a freshly baked scone. This tea is perfect as is - the addition of milk may overpower the subtle flavour notes in this tea, due to it's lighter body.

Love this tea? We think you'll love our other Darjeeling teas, including our Second Flush Darjeeling Tea and Goomtee Darjeeling Tea. Be sure to explore our full range of Darjeeling Teas while you're here!

"Wonderful aroma and taste"

— Rakhi M. (5/5)

I found out Twinings use

"I found out Twinings use a combination of first and second flush tea in their Darjeeling. This is a good and recognisable Darjeeling."

— John J. (4/5)

As good as Black Tea gets

"This is the only tea my dad drinks, ive tested a few now from T2 and TC and this is the best of the black teas ive found so far."

— Adam M. (5/5)

The champagne of teas!

"A beautiful, delicate tea suitable for those of us with sensitive tums. This is the first time I have purchased this origin tea from TTC although I have been drinking Darjeeling origin tea for over 20 years. Very satisfied and will return. Thanks Deb"

— Deborah L. (5/5)

Not as subtle or robust as other first flush Darjeeling

"I have been enjoying 1st and 2nd flush Darjeeling teas for about 30 years. This tea just purchased is nowhere near as aromatic and subtle as others I have enjoyed, so while it is OK, I wouldn't order it again."

— Penny F. (3/5)
