The First Taste of Spring.
Discover the delicate character of Saffron Cup Darjeeling First Flush, a premium black tea crafted from the earliest harvest of the season in the misty Darjeeling hills. First Flush teas are treasured for their freshness, finesse and distinctive character—making every cup a celebration of the new tea season.
Made from young, tender tea leaves, this tea produces a light, pale-golden liquor with an elegant floral aroma and a refreshing, nuanced flavour. Its naturally delicate profile and subtle muscatel character make it a favourite among tea connoisseurs and anyone looking to experience authentic Darjeeling tea.
The magic of First Flush lies in its timing. The first leaves of spring are carefully harvested when the tea plants awaken after winter, capturing the freshness and character of the season. The result is a tea that is light, aromatic, floral and beautifully refined.
Enjoy it slowly in the morning, take a moment with it during an afternoon break, or serve it when you want to make your everyday tea ritual a little more special.
With over 70 years of tea-making heritage, Saffron Cup brings generations of tea-growing experience to every cup. Rooted in India's renowned tea-growing regions, we carefully select and craft teas that celebrate their origin, character and natural flavour—from our gardens to your cup.
Add 1 teaspoon of tea leaves to 180–200 ml of freshly boiled water. Allow the water to cool slightly to 85–90°C, then steep for 2–3 minutes. Strain and enjoy.
For the purest expression of its delicate aroma and flavour, we recommend enjoying it without milk.
