Check this List of Some of the Popular Darjeeling First Flush Teas

First flush Darjeeling tea comes from the very first picking of the Darjeeling tea harvest season in spring, whereas the second flush comes from the second picking of the same plants in June. The first flush Darjeeling tea leaves are younger, more tender, and have a delicate flavour than the second flush. Here, we share a list of our most popular Darjeeling first-flush teas.
