Gopaldhara First Flush Oolong Tea – Darjeeling Spring Baozhong

Gopaldhara Darjeeling Spring Baozhong is a rare masterpiece born from the pristine high-altitude gardens of the Gopaldhara Tea Estate, where the Himalayan breeze and spring sunshine give life to teas unlike any other. Crafted during the first flush season, this oolong is made from the prized AV2 clonal bushes, known for their unmatched fragrance and sweetness.

Inspired by the traditional Taiwanese Baozhong (Pouchong) style, this Darjeeling interpretation undergoes minimal processing to preserve the natural freshness of the leaf. The young spring shoots are sun-withered, hand-rolled, and delicately oxidized, resulting in a tea that retains its bright green hue and vibrant mountain aroma.

The result is a beautifully light-bodied, floral, and herbaceous oolong with a smooth texture and exceptional clarity. Each sip reveals a medley of vanilla, olive, and apricot undertones, wrapped in a gentle freshness that captures the spirit of Darjeeling spring. Balanced, aromatic, and exquisitely clean — this tea bridges the worlds of green and oolong with rare finesse.
