18$10.00
DESCRIPTION
We picked up this batch of Darjeeling first flush 2020 from Puttabong tea estate just before the pandemic shut things down. We had to wait a good two months before the tea could be finally shipped out of India. It is finally here, and we hope it will bring you joy and hope in these otherwise challenging times.
(Please make sure when you read the reviews to confirm the production year. We have retained reviews from previous years because the overall character of the tea from a particular garden chosen by us remains the same. The reviews are helpful to compare the crop from past years.)
The 2020 first flush from Puttabong is an elegant Darjeeling with characteristic peach and light floral notes. The delicate body yields a delightfully fruity flavor with a crisp finish. Leaves you with a soft sparkle.
DRY LEAF: Beautiful soft wiry leaves, with abundant tips and of green apples and pepper.
INFUSED LEAF: Has a strong nose of juicy peach and gardenia.
CUP: Light golden liquor with a pleasant aroma of peach and green apples. On the palate it is bright with peach notes and a bite that is balanced. The sweet lingering aftertaste is memorable.

United StatesMy favorite darjeeling. Soft at first on palate..then finishes with a stronger floral taste.
United StatesWe stopped in to get a new tea similar to jasmine and were recommended this puttabong version. We love it!
So glad you're enjoying the Puttabong. It's one of our favorites from 2020! Stay well and thanks for supporting our small business.
United StatesThe tea is very fragrant, like the smell after the rain but sweet. The tea brews nicely, the leaves are a bright green after unfolding. The taste is fruity and sweet. You can drink it fast or slow. There is a puckering taste at the end. A wonderful tea to take a second and regroup yourself.
South KoreaI took my much anticipated first sip yesterday, and it did not disappoint. Lovely, simply lovely tea - would definitely recommend to any serious lover of first flush darjeeling.
United StatesI love this tea! It's light, floral, fruity and so aromatic. So far, its my favorite, highly recommend. Thank you, Happy Earth Tea for being here for us!
