Translating to Eagle’s Cliff, the Giddapahar Estate sits at the base of the Himalayas with elevations around 5,000 feet. Sweet, rich aromas of white flower, rose and buttered spinach stand out in this bold lot (DJ 6) that was produced from older china bush plants. The classic profile is packed with flavors of roots and warming spice (ginseng, ginger), and a lingering, full, bittersweet finish—the strongest of all our first flush picks this year.
Darjeeling First Flush is an iconic taste of the season, eagerly awaited each spring. These distinctive teas are produced in small quantities for just a few weeks, usually beginning in April; only the new young buds and first leaves are hand-harvested, and they undergo a unique hard withering process.
