Makaibari Himalayan Spring | 100g Loose Tin Caddy | First Flush Tea

Tasting Notes: Fruity, Floral with hints of peach.

The first sip offers a smooth delicate feel with a hint of peach. The following note is led by a sharp, brief bout of astringency. These flavors combine to create a genteel fruit and floral note. Cup quality creates a light bright intensity with a greenish overtone.

First Flush teas are the first pluckings of the harvesting season at a tea garden. The leaves are tender & delicate in flavor. Our Darjeeling first flush is mildly oxidized whole leaf tea. First Flush leaves are the fresh, new growth in spring after 3-4 months of dormancy in the winter.

The celestial cycles, alignment and harmony of the planets & stars result in this beautiful, limited-batch first harvest. Different areas of the estate at different elevations in the Himalayas produce one-of-a-kind first flush yield.
