What is First Flush Tea Why It’s Called the Champagne of Teas?


There’s something magical about beginning. The first flower of spring. The first rain after summer. And in the world of tea, we call it: First Flush.

Every year, after months of winter rest, the tea bushes wake up with the first warm touch of spring sunlight. First Flush tea is not just early tea. It is the first life of the plant after a cold winter.

These young and tender leaves carry all the energy the plant has been saving throughout the winter. That is why First Flush tea tastes fresh, vibrant and bursting with life.

First Flush from Dabri Tea

At Dabri Tea, our First Flush comes from the fertile land of Dooars, from the historic Majherdabri Tea Estate.

The soil, the climate and the rainfall of Dooars give this tea its own bright personality with strong flavours and soulful aroma.

What Makes a Tea Truly First Flush?

A tea is called First Flush when it is plucked between late February and April, just after winter ends.

Only the first two tender leaves and a bud are carefully harvested. The season is short and the quantity is limited.

That is what makes First Flush tea rare, premium and special.

A Single Estate Tea With a Story

Majherdabri First Flush is a single estate tea. This means it comes from one garden, one soil and one harvest season.

You taste the authentic character of the land without blending teas from different regions.

A Tradition Before the First Pluck

Before the plucking begins, many tea estates perform a small ceremony to thank the earth and honour the workers.

At Dabri Tea, we see ourselves not as owners but as guardians of this culture. Tea is our legacy, responsibility and tradition.
