When will 2018 Darjeeling First Flush Teas be Available ?

 

It’s the 7th day of February, cloudy and cold weather blankets the brownish-green carpet of the hills of Darjeeling with temperatures hovering between 15°C in the day and 7°C at night. A condition not so favorable and conducive to tea leaf growth.

Lower altitude regions of Darjeeling tea area are experiencing an average of 15°C, which, along with other factors, has prompted the shoots to produce some shootings. These may be considered as post winter or pre-spring bloom, but some tea gardens with the likes of Rohini & Longview are known to produce some of the good earliest first flush harvest.

 

 

Darjeeling First Flush Tea of 2018

The question that comes to mind now, is about the probable time for the availability of 2018 first flush Darjeeling teas from the other famed gardens of Darjeeling.

 

Anytime is the right time in Spring, given the fact that we have been sensing a shift in weather pattern, but the best time to expect, these much awaited elixir, is between mid February till the end of March.

2018 Spring teas will soon be available globally but the entire catalog and range of select teas will only be available on or after the month of March 2018.

 

Till then, our first flush tea lovers are requested either, to make do with the remaining 2017 batch that they have in their canister and wait for some more weeks, or get the remaining packets that we still have for you of the 2017 harvest, now available at a 50% discount.

These 2017 teas have aged well enough to produce a good flavor profile, slightly different then when it was fresh and is worth a try.
