The Darjeeling FTGFOP 1 First Flush Blend is a black tea, combining both first and second flush harvests from the Darjeeling region. The FTGFOP 1 classification signifies "Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe 1," indicating a high-quality tea with a significant proportion of tips (the young leaves and buds of the tea plant). Darjeeling teas are known for their distinct flavor profiles. First flush teas typically have rich floral overtones, are tangy, highly aromatic, and subtly fragrant. They often feature notes of citrus, green tea nuances, and a lighter, more delicate taste compared to second flush teas, which can be slightly stronger and more full-bodied. This blend is certified organic, ensuring that the tea leaves are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The single-origin nature of the tea means that it is sourced from specific estates in the Darjeeling region, reflecting the unique terroir of this Himalayan area.
