Hard to tell. Here's the page:

http://www.specialteas.com/cgi-bin/S...e+bqxm5634+143

It says "compared to last year's," but of course, that page could have been
installed last year.

It also says "second flush", and, if I'm not mistaken,
this part of May would be an "in-between" and not a
"second flush", or at least so near the beginning of the
second flush that it would be unlikely they've got any to
market here yet.

I added that one to the list specifically because it was
a second flush, because I kind of wanted to see if it
could be distinguished. Although now it occurs I wish
I'd got both a first and a second from a single estate.
Maybe in a couple of months.
