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 black Jungpana First Flush FTGFOP1 tea has whole, small, and gently rolled leaves. They present a beautiful blend of colors: light green and military green, various shades of brown, and some silver-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 bright. The opening, with fresh notes between vegetable and young wood, evokes the thickness of a mountain forest in summer. Then, floral hints of hawthorn and citrus and balsamic notes reminiscent of lemongrass and verbena are felt. 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 feeling 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 minutes and a half. The tea can be filtered for greater ease at the time of tasting, and the indicated infusion times are meant to be purely indicative, so adjustments can be made based on personal taste. It is recommended to store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
