We visited Teesta Valley on the eastern edge of the Darjeeling tea area years ago. However, the memories of the lovely estate are fresh. Waking before dawn to hike to the top of the estate for pictures was such a pleasure, and descending to drink copious amounts of tea made that day memorable. Drinking this solid first flush brings back those fond memories.
