Rohini Jethikupi First Pick Darjeeling First Flush 2025

Get ready for the Limited Edition FTGFOP1 First Pick Jethikupi – First Flush Tea 2025 from Rohini Tea Estate. Imagine the very first tea leaves of spring, bursting with fresh flavor after a long winter's nap, that's exactly what you get. Rohini is often the first garden in Darjeeling to bring us these exquisite first flush teas,, Grown at elevations between 1500-3000 feet, these tea bushes have been resting and rejuvenating through the cool, inactive winter months (November to mid-January). This long period of low temperatures has given the tea a truly unique and delightful character.

This 2025 first flush tea is crafted from the highly prized B-157 clones, known as some of the best in Darjeeling. When you look at the dry leaves, you'll see a vibrant bright green, with each piece carefully selected as two whole leaves and a bud. We gently process this tea with minimal oxidation, allowing it to naturally oxidize overnight. This delicate touch ensures the tea's natural beauty and flavor shine through. The result? A tea that’s incredibly light on your palate, with a wonderful spring-fresh and flowery aroma. You'll experience a delightful mouthful of fruity flavor, leaving behind clean notes of olives, peach, and vanilla, along with a pleasant and distinct aftertaste.

Our dedicated workers carefully hand-pluck these precious first pick leaves, making sure that only the finest shoots with prominent buds are chosen. During this early season, Darjeeling tea grows slowly, meaning our workers can only gather a small, very special quantity of leaves. The plucking is so precise that the tea is mostly hand-sorted, with very little machinery involved, ensuring every sip is of the highest quality
