Rohini Darjeeling First Flush – Floral Darjeeling with Almond & Vanilla NotesOur Rohini Darjeeling First Flush is one of the finest Darjeeling teas, grown at the Rohini estate in the Kurseong valley of Darjeeling, India. With its rich, multi-layered taste, Rohini is a truly unique Darjeeling that stands out even among the region's celebrated first-flush teas. First-flush Darjeeling is picked in early spring, when the tea bushes produce their freshest, most delicate leaves. Once brewed, Rohini reveals a delicate, pleasant bitterness that complements its gentle, lingering astringency. The cup is rich in aromatic almond and sweet vanilla-like notes combined with lovely floral fragrances, and the leaves infuse into a gleaming golden-yellow liquor with a smooth, subtle mouthfeel. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItRohini Darjeeling offers a beautifully balanced first-flush experience with a little something extra — its almond and vanilla-like sweetness sets it apart from more classic muscatel Darjeelings. It's elegant, refreshing and endlessly interesting, making it a favorite for slow sipping.
How to EnjoySavor it plain to appreciate its delicate floral and nutty character. It's lovely for afternoon tea and pairs beautifully with almond cookies, fruit tarts, light sandwiches and mild cheeses. It also makes a wonderful gift for Darjeeling fans looking to discover a new estate. Refined, fragrant and multi-layered, Rohini Darjeeling First Flush is a true treasure from the foothills of the Himalayas. |

A little steeping tipUse freshly boiled water and keep an eye on the clock: steeping past the suggested time brings out a drier, more astringent cup.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
