Darjeeling First Flush Okayti

Okayti Tea Estate sits just over a wire fence from Nepal, way up high in the Darjeeling Himalayan foothills where the air is soft and humid and the tea plants develop their new leaf shoots slowly.  The bushes here grow at altitudes ranging from 5000 to 7000 feet.

The First Flush Okayti is a typical example of Chinese character in a First Flush. This single estate tea is green in character but with very floral closing note which is uncommon. The liquor is smooth and not tannic like lower quality First Flush teas.

These first teas of the season (first flush) are the finest and are much in demand, fetching incredibly high prices at auction.
