Description
Nestled in the enchanting Rangbhang (Rungbong) Valley near Mirik, Avongrove Tea Estate stands as one of the most distinguished organic tea gardens of Darjeeling. Gracefully spread across elevations ranging from 2,000 to 5,600 feet, the estate is celebrated for crafting elegant high-altitude Darjeeling orthodox teas known for their refined floral character and expressive clonal notes. The name “Avongrove,” meaning “Nest of Birds,” beautifully reflects the garden’s lush forest surroundings and the rich biodiversity that thrives within its serene Himalayan landscape.
From this remarkable terroir comes an exceptional Premium Organic First Flush 2026 Darjeeling Tea, delicately hand-plucked at the peak of the spring harvest from the youngest AV2 clonal bushes. This exquisite tea captures the very spirit of the Himalayan spring. The beautifully crafted dry leaves are meticulously processed and generously adorned with shimmering silver tips, a hallmark of their remarkable finesse and quality.
The dry leaves exude an enchanting bouquet reminiscent of fresh spring blossoms, unfolding delicate fragrances of daffodils and tulips, elegantly layered with subtle hints of dried sweet apricots and golden raisins.
When steeped for a full five minutes, the infusion reveals a radiant bright yellow liquor, both luminous and inviting. Each sip unfolds a graceful symphony of fresh floral notes, harmoniously balanced by gentle undertones of ripe apricots and natural sugarcane sweetness, culminating in a long and lingering finish of zesty citrus and delicate mountain honey.
A truly rare and exceptional Organic Darjeeling First Flush, this magnificent tea is a seasonal treasure — an indulgence that no true Darjeeling tea connoisseur should ever allow themselves to miss.
