The average elevation of the tea garden is not particularly low, but when the harvest of the first flush begins in Darjeeling, the Puttabong Tea Garden receives samples as soon as possible. The lot I bought this time is DJ-20, and it is not a brand that was picked during the spring picking season, and the color of the extracted tea liquid is bright yellow. When you pour tea from the teapot into the cup, you can smell the fresh scent of spring flowers. The taste is similar to tea made from Chinese tea, and it is a brand that has both a firm sweetness and a pleasant astringency, and is not too delicate to drink. It's a relatively affordable brand for a first flush, so it's perfect as a cold brew iced tea on a hot summer day. If you slowly extract it in the refrigerator overnight, you will have a beautiful golden iced tea the next morning. Please try.

Puttabong, one of Darjeeling's oldest tea estates

Among the many tea estates in Darjeeling, Puttabong Tea Estate (Tukvar Tea Estate) is one of the oldest tea estates founded in 1860. With an area of 436 hectares, it is one of the largest tea estates in the Darjeeling area. It is said that the name was derived from the Lepcha word, which means fish hook, because the grounds of the tea estate are shaped like hooks. This is a tea estate that has introduced bio-organic farming methods since 2009. The tea estate is mainly planted with Chinese hybrids, which is one of the important elements that create the unique taste of this tea estate.

A fragrance nurtured by the Himalayas, Darjeeling

Darjeeling tea is known as one of the world's three major black teas, and is called "the champagne of black tea" due to its delicate and strong aroma. Even if you don't like black tea, it's a famous production area. Darjeeling has three distinct quality seasons: spring, summer and autumn. Harvested in late March and early April, the First Flush is the tea leaves picked during the first harvest season of the year that tea fans around the world await. The bright yellow light blue gives off a greenish scent reminiscent of the green of the grasslands filled with the breath of spring. It's a particularly popular season for people in France, Germany, and Japan.
