Darjeeling Badamtam FTGFOP1 First Flush EXJ1/25 Organic Black Tea (No.94)

Discover the first picking of the 2025 season from one of the region’s most picturesque and celebrated tea gardens at Darjeeling Badamtam. Located at elevations of up to 1,800 metres, the Darjeeling Badamtam Tea Estate lies in the heart of the Himalayan foothills and is cradled by the Rangeet and Majhitar rivers. Surrounded by green hills and rich biodiversity, including numerous bird and animal species, the garden’s serene natural setting plays a vital role in producing extraordinary tea.

Harvested in the early spring of 2025, this First Flush graded tea (Graded EX1 – Exceptional Batch 1) marks the very beginning of the new season, and is one of the most eagerly anticipated lots in the Darjeeling calendar. These young, tender leaves are carefully hand-plucked and crafted by skilled artisans to preserve their fresh, floral flavour and bright, golden liquor. The result is a refined, aromatic cup with a delicate briskness and the signature muscatel notes that make Darjeeling teas world-famous.

Darjeeling Badamtam’s first flush teas are consistently in high demand across global markets and widely admired by tea professionals for their clarity, balance, and seasonal vibrancy. The high-altitude environment encourages slow leaf development, enhancing the complexity and aromatic finesse of the final cup.
