Gopaldhara Darjeeling First Flush Flowery Orange Pekoe Whole Leaf Black Tea

Gopaldhara Darjeeling First Flush Flowery Orange Pekoe Whole Leaf Black Tea. Fresh Spring Harvest from the High Mountains of Darjeeling.

Delicate, vibrant, and unmistakably Darjeeling, Gopaldhara Darjeeling First Flush Flowery Orange Pekoe captures the freshness of the season’s earliest harvest from the celebrated high-altitude slopes of Gopaldhara Tea Estate. Grown at elevations reaching up to 7,000 feet, this premium whole leaf black tea showcases the elegance and character that make Darjeeling First Flush teas among the most sought-after in the world.

Carefully handpicked during the spring harvest, the tea features small whole leaves with a distinctive greenish appearance, reflecting the gentle processing techniques used to preserve its freshness and natural aromas. When brewed, the leaves unfurl to produce a clear golden-yellow liquor that is bright, lively, and inviting.

The cup offers the classic character of a fine high-mountain Darjeeling First Flush — crisp, fresh, and wonderfully aromatic. Delicate floral notes mingle with mild natural sweetness, while a pleasant briskness and gentle astringency add structure and complexity. The finish is long, refreshing, and memorable, leaving behind the unmistakable signature of traditional Darjeeling spring teas.

Perfect for both seasoned tea connoisseurs and everyday tea lovers, this tea delivers an authentic Darjeeling experience that can be enjoyed day after day.
