The Blend

Our First Flush Darjeeling is often referred to as the “Champagne of Teas” – and for good reason. The tea is harvested during the very first spring plucking in the Himalayan foothills. Best of all, these limited-edition teabags are completely plastic-free, making them as gentle on the planet as they are on the palate.

The Taste

Darjeeling tea is known for its light, aromatic flavour and distinctive character. This particular blend offers a clear, golden liquor with floral top notes, a gentle muscatel sweetness, and a touch of herbaceous freshness. Hints of stone fruit, citrus, and a mild astringency give it a clean, layered finish that lingers softly on the palate. Unlike heavier black teas, it’s delicate yet expressive, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy a more refined and complex cup. Perfect for moments when you want something uplifting, flavourful, and quietly luxurious.

The Benefit

First Flush Darjeeling tea offers more than just refined flavour – it’s naturally rich in polyphenolic antioxidants, particularly catechins, theaflavins, and thearubigins, which have been widely studied for their role in supporting overall health. These compounds help to neutralise free radicals, reducing oxidative stress in the body, which is linked to ageing and a range of chronic diseases. Regular consumption of high-quality black teas like Darjeeling may also support cardiovascular health by improving blood vessel function, lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and reducing blood pressure. Additionally, Darjeeling contains moderate levels of L-theanine, an amino acid known to promote a calm, focused state of alertness without the jitteriness often associated with coffee. Its anti-inflammatory properties, combined with natural antibacterial effects, can also support immune function and digestive health. When enjoyed as part of a balanced lifestyle, First Flush Darjeeling is a wellness-enhancing choice that blends tradition, purity, and science.

The Moment

Need a moment of clarity or a gentle lift in the middle of your day? This tea is ideal for those quiet, reflective pauses – when you want to reset and recharge without the heaviness of a strong brew. Its clean, floral notes and light body make it perfect for a mid-morning break, an afternoon breather, or even a mindful moment between tasks. With its natural balance of gentle caffeine and calming theanine, this tea helps you feel focused yet relaxed – a soothing companion for reading, journaling, or simply enjoying a few peaceful minutes to yourself.

The creation

This Darjeeling tea is sourced from the renowned Phoobsering Tea Estate, one of 13 heritage gardens owned by the Chamong Group, internationally respected for producing some of the finest teas in both Assam and Darjeeling. Located in the misty foothills of the eastern Himalayas, Phoobsering is known for its high-altitude terroir, pristine growing conditions, and ethical cultivation practices. The result is a leaf of exceptional quality, rich in polyphenolic antioxidants like catechins and theaflavins, which are linked to benefits such as improved heart health, reduced inflammation, and cellular protection against oxidative stress. This clean, sustainably produced tea offers not only a refined flavour but also natural wellness properties – a perfect harmony of provenance, purity, and purpose.
