Spring has finally arrived in Edinburgh, and so has one of our favourite spring-picked teas. First-flush Darjeeling is the very essence of spring. Fresh, floral, fruity, and full of life while at the same time elegant and delicate. Jethi Kupi is a first-flush Darjeeling that will transport you to the foothills of the Himalayas, where it is grown on the Rohini estate at around 1000 metres of elevation.
As the weather warms up across some of the world's greatest tea-producing countries, tea bushes are pushing out their first buds and tiny leaves. Tea pickers will be entering the fields, and tea artisans will be starting to produce some of the world's finest teas. If you've ever heard terms like "pre-rain" or "first flush" used to describe tea, you may wonder what these descriptions mean and what makes tea harvested in spring so special. In this article, we'll delve into the lifecycle of the tea plant to explain why early spring teas should be on your shopping list.
We found the flavour of Honey Oolong to be absolutely fantastic. When we first put the dry leaves into the pot the aroma was sweet and floral with notes of spices. The leaves are beautiful and wiry thanks to the gentle processing. And the tea itself has a honey like flavour, with floral notes and the classic darjeeling muscatel flavour.
