First Flush 2024
Spring is here and so are the first crops around the world!
We invite you to try these wonderful messengers of spring and look forward to receiving your sample request.
Our sale team will be happy to take your reservations from now on and will keep you informed of arrivals.
We guarantee that we take the utmost care in selecting and planning the quantities we import as Flight Tea. Some of our customers are now deliberately favouring the lots that are being shipped by ocean freight. These are expected to arrive in Hamburg during the month of May.
- Darfeeling First Flush
These black teas are characterised by their particularly floral, fresh taste. To achieve this unmistakable flavour, only the young, delicate green and fresh shoots are picked for our first flush teas. To preserve the freshness of these teas, we receive the first plucks by air freight. The fast transport preserves all the fresh flavours that give our teas their popular Darjeeling character.
- Nepal First Flush
In addition to Darjeeling, there are other growing regions that now produce excellent first flush qualities comparable to Darjeeling.These include the Guranse tea garden in Nepal.The tea garden produces a very pleasant first flush with many tips that ensure a smooth and comparatively green cup.
- Japan Shincha
Our Shincha from Japan has also become very popular with our customers - the wonderfully fresh flavour and intense umami note never fails to impress.
In addition to the boxed goods listed, we also offer our specialist retailers the practical 1kg retail packs as usual.
