Darjeeling - Goomtee FTGFOP1 1st Flush

Sebastian tasted the earliest first flush Darjeelings in March 2000 when he was touring the tea estates. These teas generally sell out before they are made, much like Beaujolais Nouveau from France. We bought the whole invoice of this excellent tea, made from a high elevation Chinese varietal. It has the grey green leaves which characterize first flush teas and a nice floral scent. We enjoy this tea at a lower steeping temperature - please experiment.
