Rohini Darjeeling Spring White Tea – Royal First Flush

Rohini Darjeeling Spring White Tea – Royal First Flush is a rare and refined first flush white tea crafted at the Rohini Tea Estate from young buds and tender leaves grown between 1500 and 3000 feet. Harvested at the very beginning of the season, only the freshest shoots are selected. Instead of conventional oxidation, the leaves are carefully sun-dried under controlled conditions, preserving their natural character and seasonal freshness. The greenish-grey dry leaves with abundant silvery tips brew into a bright, light yellow, fully transparent liquor with a clean infusion. The cup reveals delicate honeyed sweetness layered with notes of citrus and vanilla. Smooth and free from astringency, it concludes with a pleasant and distinct aftertaste that reflects the elegance of the spring harvest.
