Description

This year, we were lucky to get this early tea. It is the 12th production (Dj 12) of 2025. Risheehat is located in the valley under the city of Darjeeling. We have visited it a few times. It is a stunning estate owned by Jayshree with many steep valleys. Risheehat 1st Flush is a greenish First Flush Darjeeling tea with lovely tropical notes and a light body. If you brew it like a green tea, with less heat and less time than a black tea, it tastes excellent.

Ingredients

Black tea.

 Details: Mike visited this beautiful estate on his last trip to Darjeeling. The factory sits on top of a steep hill, yet still below the city of Darjeeling. It is owned by the great tea producer: Jayshree. Jayshree also makes our Assams. Jayshree crafts this First Flush Darjeeling in a modern, ultra-green style. This technique accentuates the tropical fruit flavors but makes for a brisker and lighter cup.
 Dry Leaves: Green twisted leaves.
 Liquor: Dark yellow.
 Aroma: Haunting tropical fruits.
 Flavors: Lovely passion fruit, grapefruit, and other tropical flavors.
 Caffeine Level: Caffeinated
 Body: Light-bodied
 Brewing Time: 3 minutes
 Brewing Temp: 175º
