This is a 1st Flush Darjeeling FTGFOP-1 that is ORGANIC - not many First's are. It is from the Monteviot estate in the Southern Kurseong Valley, Darjeeling,India.
Great first flush and more delicate, due partly to the "gentler" organic process. Tastes very fresh with combination of fruit and flowers with a mild sweetness. With this tea you can brew it many different ways to get a mild flavor with many subtle nuances or a bolder stronger brew at a longer time and hotter water.

• Half ounce makes approximately 4 cups

English Tealeaves sells over 125 high quality teas that are "cherry picked" from over 15 suppliers who specialize in specific types and countries. This gives us the flexibility to find the best of the best. We also blend around 8 teas ourselves that can't be obtained to our standards. For example our #1 selling tea, English Breakfast is our own blend that we created in 2002.

Our Cafe customers give feedback and we discontinue the ones that get poor ratings. We also look to improve our teas and will replace a standard tea, like say Mango, with a higher quality blend from another supplier.

The teas are selected after evaluation in these seven areas and then the scores are weighted to decide if they qualify for inclusion in our range:


• Dry leaves
• Dry aroma
• Brewed Infusion Color
• Aroma brewed
• Taste profile
• Iced taste
