Assam FTGFOP1 Chardwar First Flush Organic
The tea garden near Tezpur on the north bank of the Brahmaputra is known for its excellent quality at an attractive price. The carefully rolled, dark leaf with light-coloured tips unfolds its full aroma in the cup. The first spring harvest produces a lighter, less malty flavour than later Assam teas.

Darjeeling FTGFOP1 First Flush Samabeong Organic
The Samabeong tea garden, one of the most remote in Darjeeling, is located at an altitude of 2,000 metres in the Neora Valley National Park. The humid microclimate of this region favours the development of a light, flowery first flush tea. Particularly noteworthy: the tea garden is managed and cultivated by women.
