Hey tea lover,

I have a quick experiment for you. Go to Google and type in "First Flush Tea."

Chances are your screen just got flooded with Darjeeling First Flush.

Nepali First Flush? Nowhere to be found. Why is that?

Because Darjeeling has been in the spotlight for decades and for all the right reasons. But just across the border, on the same Himalayan slopes, something equally magical has been brewing: Nepali First Flush.

It might not be as famous yet, but ask any tea expert, and they'll tell you: This one's a gem.

Here's why it stands apart:

🌱 Younger Bushes = Brighter Flavors
While Darjeeling bushes have aged, Nepali tea gardens are younger, meaning more vibrant, nuanced flavors and less bitterness.

🌦️ Higher Elevation, Wilder Weather
Nepali gardens sit higher up with unpredictable climates, which stresses the plant in all the right ways to boost complexity and depth.

👐 Craft Over Commodity
Nepali First Flush is hand-plucked and often crafted by small, passionate teams. It's not a product of scale but a labor of love.

🧪 Experimental and Bold
We don't follow convention. Our tea makers play with oxidation, rolling, and drying techniques to create truly one-of-a-kind batches.

Let's give Nepali teas the recognition they've always deserved. Not by comparison, but by character. Get your pack here.

Cheers!
