Barnesbeg Darjeeling First Flush – Elegant Spring Darjeeling Black TeaNestled in the misty hills of the Darjeeling region, the Barnesbeg Estate produces some of the finest teas in India. Grown at high altitude and carefully hand-plucked during the very first awakening of spring, our Barnesbeg Darjeeling First Flush offers a sophisticated expression of both terroir and meticulous craftsmanship. Once brewed, it reveals a pale, luminous golden liquor with a vibrant floral aroma. The cup is smooth and light-bodied, unfolding in delicate layers of spring blossoms, young peach and a touch of fresh herbaceous brightness. You'll notice the classic first-flush character — crisp, lively and pleasantly brisk — finishing with a clean, lingering sweetness. Tasting Notes

How to EnjoyEnjoy it plain to appreciate its delicate floral notes — no milk needed. It's perfect for afternoon tea and pairs beautifully with fruit, light pastries, cucumber sandwiches and fresh cheeses.

A little steeping tipUse freshly boiled water and keep an eye on the clock: steeping past the suggested time brings out a drier, more astringent cup.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
