April 2024 Harvest
At an altitude of around 2000 metres, this garden offers a stand out batch of First Flush black tea with all the typical qualities enthusiasts of the classic Darjeeling style seek.
The leaves, with their varied tones, give a clear liquor with a round texture. The full flavour reveal woody (aromatic wood) and fruity (grapes) notes, with a lingering taste of green cardamom and a slight camphor effect in the finish.
Pleasant and harmonious.

Simpson & VailI’m not a huge Darjeeling drinker but I definitely appreciate a really good first or second flush every now and then, and I’m fortunate enough to live near Camellia Sinensis which means I get to reap the benefits of Kevin’s sourcing – so when this year’s Spring harvest was stocked I was excited to go and smell some teas in person and see if anything sparked interest…
Well, wow. This is a very “me” feeling Darjeeling. More medium bodied but with some briskness to it still, and that pleasant top not astringency that breaks into more of a crisp and fruity profile. Really muscatel but in a fleeting way before embracing a more mineral and woody body profile with snow pea and bean sprout undertones and a spicy yet cooling finish of cardamom. Some complex, but just also so… fresh. Just a little sugarcane sweetness to tease, without being an overly sweet tea at all. In fact, it’s rather vegetal but just in that really snappy and refreshing sort of way.
Deeply, deeply enjoyable. One of the best Darjeeling I’ve had in a while!
Sounds delightful! I love a good first flush darjeeling, and I had one autumn darjeeling from Vahdam Teas which I thought was exceptional. Second flush teas are very nice, but usually not my favorite. It’s a shame, though, because I feel like the quality level of darjeeling teas tends to be very spotty. I got tired of making bad purchases, so now I tend to stay away from darjeelings.
