Introducing a meticulously crafted masterpiece born from years of dedicated research and relentless effort – our limited edition early First Flush tea, a true embodiment of innovation in Darjeeling tea production. This exquisite offering for 2024 unveils a tantalizingly fruity fragrance and aroma, delicately enveloping the senses, albeit with a light body that gracefully dances on the palate. It should not be mistaken as white tea as it has been oxidized but all by hand without any machinery works involved. This hand-rolled and carefully shuffled tea undergoes multiple gentle oxidations throughout the night, resulting in a unique sensory experience.
Each tender AV2 bud bears a subtle golden hue, reflecting its exceptional quality. With an estimated production of only 70 kg destined for connoisseurs around the globe, this rare gem stands as the epitome of exclusivity in Darjeeling teas.
The finely plucked whole leaves yield a cup of unparalleled refreshment, boasting a vibrant fruity essence accentuated by hints of natural honey, peaches, and wildflowers. Remarkably smooth and devoid of astringency, this early first flush tea beckons to be savoured through multiple brews. With just 2.5 grams per cup, expect to indulge in at least 3 cups of pure bliss. Adjust brewing times according to personal preference, as each sip promises a journey of unparalleled taste and refinement.

Okay, this is the first product that I purchased from Gopaldhara and I must admit that the tea tastes awesome. It’s the best that they offer and I’m not sure whether I’d ever be able to switch to other tea brand or even other teas that Gopaldhara offers. And they offer myriad Tea variety. Yes, they are quite expensive but really more than worth the price.
Just a pinch of tea leaf in the standard tea cup (not coffee mug/cup) is enough. Pour hot water and don’t leave it for more than exact 5 minutes. The taste brings soothing and calm feeling. Would highly recommend this product should one want a feedback.
