Puttabong is one of the most respected estates in Darjeeling, located north of Darjeeling town on terrain that climbs from 457 to 1,920 meters above sea level and is managed by Jayshree Tea. The dramatic elevation range provides the garden with a rare versatility, and this crop, made from its China-Assam hybrid cultivar, typically exhibits more body and warmth than what is usual for the first flush style, featuring a toasty warmth that softens the typical briskness. This harvest came in over two days, March 19th and 20th, when the season's earliest new growth was hitting its stride. Tropical fruit and floral notes lift the aroma, while the cup delivers that same tropical fruit character alongside a gentle almond-like nuttiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who enjoy our Teesta Valley 1st Flush, Puttabong offers a slightly fuller, more settled expression from the same classic first flush season.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harney \u0026 Sons Fine Teas","offers":[{"title":"Loose \/ 1 lb.

He is a promising young farmer in Wazuka, located on the opposite ridge from where Matsuda, another of our favorite Japanese tea growers, produces tea. Wataru-san is a college graduate that applies novel approaches to making tea, blending Japanese tradition with modern methods. This Guricha is made from the short-period shaded Saemidori cultivar, which has a strong umami. To preserve this feature, he’s opted to omit the last step in traditional sencha making, rolling, which can increase the body of the tea but reduce its umami. The recommendation from Mr. Wataru is to enjoy two steepings. The first is refreshing with vegetal notes, whereas the second will become much more bold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuricha (steamed curly tea) is a kind of Japanese green tea found mainly in Kyushu, the southern island of Japan. Guricha follows a lot of the same processing that Sencha does, except for the last rolling, which is how most Senchas acquire their needle-like shape. This last rolling’s purpose is to damage the structure of the tea leaf, so without this process, Guricha has a lighter taste to it than standard Senchas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harney \u0026 Sons Fine Teas","offers":[{"title":"Loose \/ 2 oz.

In the cup, the difference is just as clear. Where traditional silver tips whisper, this tea speaks of rich, maple-sap sweetness with complexity that lingers on the palate, evoking the untamed essence of the forests where it's grown.
