Red Tea (black) Darjeeling Okayti First Flush is classified as FTGFOP 1 (Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe), a grading given only to the most precious teas, made up of whole leaves and a generous quantity of buds. It is harvested in March and April, at the beginning of spring, a season whose freshness it recalls with aromas that are at times almost pungent. Its golden liquor has intense notes of flowers and citrus fruits, with a long-lasting fragrance and a distinctive note of young olive oil. This tea comes from the Kurseong valley, in the Darjeeling district. Place of origin: Kurseong Valley, Darjeeling district, India. Tasting - Sight and smell Okayti First Flush black tea FTGFOP1 has small whole leaves delicately rolled and is characterized by a good presence of buds. The colors range from light green and olive green to the warmer tones of brown and dark brown, down to the silvery color of the small buds. Even dry, it has an intoxicating scent of flowers and the unmistakable muscat grape note typical of the best Darjeelings. Once infused, the leaves release floral notes, sweet and fruity notes of mango and figs, a fleeting vegetal nuance and a sensation reminiscent of green tomato compote. The liquor appears a deep gold with amber reflections, transparent and bright. On the nose, there is a citrus note of lemon and verbena. WESTERN TASTING NOTES The first notes of Okayti First Flush black tea are intense and floral, with hints of wild rose. There is then a hint of young olive oil, fragrant and pungent, which finally gives way to citrus notes of lemon, lemon balm and lemongrass. On the finish, a muscat grape note emerges, while floral notes return in persistence. The body is medium-high and velvety. A slight astringency is perceived, typical of first flush Darjeelings, but it never becomes unpleasant. Okayti First Flush black tea thus offers the palate remarkable complexity, revealing distinct nuances with every sip and giving a very pleasant sensation of freshness. Preparation For a classic preparation in the Western style of Okayti First Flush black tea, we recommend 2.5 grams of leaves (about 1 teaspoon) in a 200 ml cup with water at 85°C for an infusion time of 2 and a half minutes. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
