The Red (black) Tea Darjeeling Jungpana First Flush is classified as FTGFOP 1 (Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe), a classification given only to the most precious teas, composed of whole leaves and a generous quantity of tips. The tea leaf is green and has a pleasant floral aroma. The liquor has a light golden color, a sweet aftertaste, and a fresh aroma. This tea comes from the Kurseong valley, in the Darjeeling district. The Jungpana First Flush FTGFOP1 black tea has whole leaves, small and delicately rolled. They present a beautiful melange of colors: light green and military green, various shades of brown, and some silvery white tips. The infused leaves release aromas of green wood, floral notes of geranium, and a hint of lemongrass, with a nose-feel that is almost balsamic. The liquor in the cup is golden, transparent, and luminous. The opening, with fresh notes between the vegetal and young wood, evokes the thick of a mountain forest in summer. Floral hints of hawthorn and citrus and balsamic notes reminiscent of lemongrass and verbena are then perceived. The body of this Jungpana First Flush is light and soft on the palate, with a mild astringency and a barely perceptible bitterness. The persistence is floral and offers the palate a good sense of freshness. For a classic preparation according to the western style of this tea, we recommend 2.5 grams of leaves (about 1 teaspoon) in a 200 ml cup with water at 85°C for an infusion time of 2 and a half minutes. The tea can be filtered for greater ease at the time of tasting, and the infusion times indicated above are meant to be purely indicative, so you can also adjust based on your personal taste. It is recommended to store in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight.
