Darjeeling Giddapahar - Black Tea

floral - fresh - uplifting

Start your day with the sparkling freshness of Giddapahar Delight, a classic Darjeeling first flush.

Harvested in March from the small, fourth-generation Giddapahar Tea Estate in the misty Kurseong Valley, this tea is prized for its lively, bright character and delicate floral aromas.

First flush teas are the very first leaves of the season, lightly oxidized to preserve their nuanced flavors. Giddapahar Delight offers a balanced cup with gentle astringency, juicy sweetness, and subtle woody undertones. The light, floral complexity makes it perfect for a smooth morning ritual, and it also shines as a refreshing cold brew. Crafted from heirloom Chinese varietals and carefully selected clonal plants, this tea is a treat for connoisseurs and beginners alike.
