Know Your Tea: First Flush (Currently Delivering)

SEASON

During the winter dormancy, Selim Hill fertilises and prepares itself for the coming of

Spring. And Spring appears like a glorious hornbill, with the coming of March. The bushes

develop a dark green texture and the leaves begin flushing as they rise towards the

heavens. The season is still cool and breezy, and the freshness can be felt in your cup.

DRY LEAF

Dry, greyish green. Our leaves are rough, long, and bold. Like a Persian carpet, the

inconsistency of our leaves is a mark of the authenticity of our product.

LIQUORING

Champagne

AROMA

Delicate, floral notes, and fresh-cut-field aromas.

FLAVOURS

The First Flush carries an intensely fruity flavour. Light to Medium-bodied, its bright in

appearance, with a definitive peppermint finish for the aficionado.

LEGEND

Nurtured by the Selim Hill Forest, your First Flush teas are grown under the shadow of the

bamboo groves of the famed Andheri Section at the Estate. Selim Hill’s First Flush is

celebrated in tea rooms and boutiques all over Europe.

PREPARATION

Add 2 teaspoons (2.5 g) and steep hot water for 5 minutes. Brew and enjoy the Original

Taste of Darjeeling.
