When does the new year's first flush become available?
I'm talking about Darjeeling black teas. When (month) does the new year's
first flush start to show up for sale at the major mail-order places? I'm trying to decide on how much so-so tea to buy now before getting in line to buy the good (popular) stuff next year ... -- Aloke ---- to reply by e-mail remove 123 and change invalid to com

By June the bulk of the FF harvest is available, most of the time. Delivery here in the US is variable, depending on weather, foreign exchange and the whims of customs officials. Last season the first FF I got was from Namring, I think in late March, from Upton. Regards, Dean
