Puttabong Moondrop First Flush Darjeeling Black Tea - 2026

An exquisite early first flush offering, this tea is crafted from select Chinary clonal bushes (RR17/144, Teesta Valley 1, AV2), showcasing the hallmark finesse of the season’s finest make. The leaf is elegantly twisted and well-graded, adorned with a generous sprinkling of silvery tips—indicative of careful plucking and meticulous hand sorting. Upon infusion, the cup reveals a bright green hue, releasing an enchanting bouquet of fresh spring florals. On the palate, the liquor is remarkably sweet and refined, with a soft, delicate body and a lingering finish. The cup expresses a vivid first flush character—intensely floral, light, and nuanced, with a graceful persistence that defines its premium quality. Manufactured with precision—featuring controlled withering, light oxidation, and gentle drying—this lot captures the freshness and vibrancy of the early harvest. Plucked on 11th March 2026 and crafted the following day, this Moondrop offering stands as a fine expression of seasonal purity and artisanal excellence
