The Red Tea (black) 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 amount 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 gently rolled. They present a beautiful melange of colors: light green and military green, various shades of brown, and some silver-white buds. The infused leaves release aromas of green wood, floral notes of geranium, and a hint of lemongrass, with an almost balsamic sensation in the nose. The liquor in the cup is golden, transparent, and bright. The opening, with fresh notes between vegetable and young wood, suggests the thick 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 sensation 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 convenience at the time of tasting, and the infusion times indicated above are intended to be purely indicative, so one can adjust according to personal taste. It is recommended to store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
