Refreshing Spring Tea

Spring is the most exciting time for tea. It's the point in the year when the plants wake from out of their winter slumber and literally spring into life, producing fresh, tender young leaves that are bursting full of goodness and flavour, otherwise known as the First Flush.

During this period, our sourcing team is kept busy assessing samples from the finest tea estates across the world, while tea gardens across the world burst into life and activity. 

Spring Teas

Each year we receive a collection of First Flush Darjeeling teas, full of the taste of the springtime Himalayas. 

After cold winter months in the foothills of the mountains, the tea plants start to come back to life, and soon the Darjeeling First Flush is ready to harvest. The first flush teas are delicate and crisp, and make for a refreshing brew. 

The Darjeeling First Flush teas arrive at our warehouse in Spring, and we pick the very best of the year! To learn more, read out What is First Flush Darjeeling blog.
