Grown in 87 gardens in the foothills of the Himalayas in Darjeeling in West Bengal state. Some of the bushes are as old as 150 years and were introduced to the region by a Scottish surgeon.

The harvesting season in Darjeeling extends to roughly a little over seven months – from March to October. It is also divided into four distinct seasons called “flushes”. This first flush (harvest) has the sweet flowery taste of the tea garden.

Grade: FGFOP (Fancy Tippy Golden Flowery Grade Orange Pekoe)
