Rohini First Pick Darjeeling Oolong Tea - Spring Blossom

Rohini First Pick Darjeeling Oolong Tea – Spring Blossom is one of the earliest harvested teas of the season from Rohini Tea Estate, often among the first gardens to produce first flush tea in Darjeeling. Plucked on 7th February from B157 bushes grown between 1500 and 3000 feet, this tea captures the freshness of bushes just emerging from winter dormancy. Carefully selected two leaves and a bud undergo minimal, natural oxidation with limited machinery involvement, preserving the integrity of the leaf. The well-sorted greenish leaves brew into a light yellow, fully transparent liquor. The cup reveals fruity sweetness, mellow body, and clean character with no astringency, finishing with a pleasant and distinct aftertaste that reflects the cool early spring climate.
