Darjeeling Millikthong First Flush 2024

First Flush from Millikthong Tea Estate

The first classical spring Darjeeling from the famous Millikthong was produced in the first days of this year's picking. Beautifully crafted, slightly oxidized, and completely unbroken leaves shaped into long regular "wires" with a pleasant cooling spiciness and tones of white chocolate. Golden-orange infusion of very balanced, soft, sweet round herbal taste with tones of pomegranate, meadow flowers, and a slight astringency in the aftertaste.

Preparation of Darjeeling Millikthong
