What does First Flush and Second Flush mean? |
|
|
All tea growing regions have various harvest seasons, or "flushes", throughout the year. Darjeeling, a region in Northern India where some of our producer partners are, has four main flushes, each of which yields very distinct teas.
First Flush Darjeelings are known for their gentle and delicate flavor. These teas come after the spring rains have stirred the tea bush from its winter slumber.
Second Flush Darjeelings are known for their fuller taste and refined astringency. These teas come from late spring and early summer before the heavy monsoon rains.
