Arya Floral FTGFOP1 Darjeeling Tea 2025 – Classic First Flush Joy!

About Arya Tea Estate Floral FTGFOP1

Nestled near Darjeeling town and spread over 125 hectares, Arya Tea Estate is one of the highest elevation tea gardens in the region, comparable to estates like Risheehat. Known for its commitment to organic farming and heritage processing methods, Arya produces both rare artisan teas and authentic classic Darjeeling teas made from pure china tea bushes.

This First Flush 2025 china-grade tea was chosen after careful evaluation among several classic invoices, representing the best of what Arya offers in its traditional line.

The dry leaves of this Arya Floral FTGFOP1 China tea present a striking dark green-brown appearance. You’ll notice a natural blend of light green, brown, and even black leaves – indicative of china varietals. These leaves are finely rolled and twisted, revealing considerable amount of silver tips covered in soft, downy hairs – a hallmark of premium Darjeeling First Flush teas.

The aroma is enchanting – sweet, fresh, with hints of light caramel and delicate spice. A complex floral bouquet emerges, reminiscent of blooming spring flowers.

Once brewed, the infusion is bright and lively, with green and brown hues glowing in the wet leaves. This vibrant appearance hints at a high-quality First Flush Darjeeling. The wet leaves exude floral intensity, layered with spice notes that bring to mind the warm, comforting scent of Indian masalas, particularly those found in South Indian cooking. At the same time, there’s a pastry-like sweetness that rounds out the aroma beautifully.

In the cup, the tea delivers exactly what its aroma promised: a bright, golden liquor with excellent clarity and a smooth texture. Slightly darker than most china-grade teas, it carries a bit more body while maintaining the lively briskness Darjeeling is famous for.

The flavor is floral and sweet, complemented by subtle spiciness and a mild almond-like nuttiness. There’s a pleasant astringency that emerges delicately on the tongue, followed by a buttery smooth finish. It’s a vibrant and fulfilling cup—an excellent choice for those who appreciate authentic, organic Darjeeling First Flush teas.

This is a first-grade organic classic Darjeeling tea from Arya Tea Estate, harvested at the peak of First Flush 2025. With its heritage quality, affordable pricing, and memorable taste, it’s a perfect addition to any tea enthusiast’s collection.

Whether you’re new to Darjeeling or a seasoned connoisseur, this classic from Arya is a must-try.
