Gopaldhara Darjeeling First Flush Oolong Tea – Herbaceous Spring Delight | Rare 100% Whole Leaf Tea

Experience the freshness of the Himalayas with Gopaldhara Herbaceous Spring Delight, a rare first flush oolong from the legendary Gopaldhara Tea Estate in Darjeeling. Grown between 5,500 and 7,000 feet, this tea is crafted from heritage Chinary bushes that awaken from their winter slumber to produce the year’s most delicate and flavorful leaves.

Made in small, limited batches, this exquisite oolong is sun-dried and hand-oxidized — a process that enhances its natural aroma and complexity while preserving the purity of its mountain-grown character. The result is a bright golden-yellow liquor that embodies the spirit of spring — floral, creamy, and refreshingly herbaceous.

Each sip reveals a medley of orchid-like floral notes, gentle sweetness, and a soft, creamy texture. Smooth, thick, and remarkably clean, this oolong leaves no trace of bitterness or astringency — only the refreshing calm of Darjeeling’s misty hills.

A true connoisseur’s delight, this Herbaceous Spring Oolong is as rare as it is refined — an elegant reflection of nature’s renewal.
