The Tea Story

Badamtam’s first flush teas are shaped by altitude, cool river winds and the fragile rhythm of early spring in Darjeeling. Grown between approximately 1,000 and 2,000 metres near the Rangeet River, the estate’s location allows tender leaves to develop slowly, enhancing floral aromatics and natural sweetness. Plucked between late February and early April, these early leaves are delicately processed to preserve their orchid-like florality, subtle green almond notes and crisp brightness. Often referred to as the “champagne season” of tea, first flush production is limited and highly weather-dependent, making Badamtam’s tippy spring teas especially sought after for their purity, elegance and fleeting nature.
