1st Flush Darjeeling teas 2008:
It has been a long time since I've been able to place any
information regarding the 1st flush 2008 teas, well to be very honest
on one side we expect a very good crop as we had a couple of full
fledged winter rains in mid February and a mild snowfall too, which
shows a clear sign of a very healthy crop, specially the clonals would
do wonders for the tea planters but seeing the current political
scenario in Darjeeling where most of the tea garden labours are
involved in the mess, some of the very renowned tea gardens will
suffer here as due to this involvement as these particular gardens
missed the important curing required before this golden harvest but I
don't want to mention the names of these gardens as in the mid-spring
they can still give a good harvest but the early spring crop will not
be very good for them.
Well talking about our selections I will not try to be very
experimental this year as I had succeeded last year with my selection
of teas and at least 90% of my customers had appreciated my teas,
specially I can't stop myself from writing about the Singbulli clonal
delight and the Thurbo Tippy clonal ftgfop-1 1st Flush teas as these
teas were highly appreciated by many tea lovers and also not to forget
I also achieved many new customers due to these teas but again the
early invoice teas are our business secret and after determining all
the current status we have already selected our invoice of 1st flush
teas from different sub divisions of different tea estates.
So, we once again invite all tea lovers to join our 1st flush 2008
tea party from the 2nd week of March.
