Risheehat, Organic Darjeeling Black Tea, First Flush 2026
Experience the elegance of a exclusive first flush Darjeeling—an early spring harvest that captures the very first awakening of the tea plant after winter dormancy. Sourced from the organic Risheehat Estate, this 2026 micro lot is a refined expression of terroir, craftsmanship, and seasonality.
In the cup, the liquor shimmers a delicate pale gold, offering a soft, luminous clarity. The flavor unfolds gently—floral and lifted, with a sweet, lingering finish reminiscent of honeydew melon. A subtle briskness adds structure without overpowering, creating a cup that is both smooth and sophisticated.
The dry leaf is beautifully composed: long, wiry, and well-rolled from clonal bushes, with a hint of peppery character that speaks to careful cultivation and artisanal processing. Once infused, the leaves release a green, sugary aroma layered with soft peach notes—an inviting preview of the cup to come.
This is a tea for those who appreciate nuance over intensity—an elegant, balanced Darjeeling that rewards slow sipping and quiet attention.
