Harvest: First flush, March 2026

The first flush is picked in March from the Mirik Valley Growers Co-operative, thirty-eight smallholders who bring their leaf to one small factory.
It is a light, bright black tea: muscat grape and green apple, with almost no astringency. Drink it without milk, alongside fruit or a plain scone.

1
Rinse the pot and cups with hot water, then pour it away.
2
Use the leaf weight on the caddy. A level teaspoon holds about 3 g of most teas.
3
Pour off every drop so the leaf does not stew. Good tea gives a second and third cup.
