Opening 1888 First Flush Tea reveals an aromatic experience that develops beautifully from the first pour. Its fragrance carries delicate floral notes alongside hints of fresh fruit and gentle sweetness, creating an inviting sense of freshness. As you sip, the character becomes lively and brisk, while remaining clean and refined on the palate. The aroma may continue to evolve as the tea cools, inviting you to slow down and notice different nuances. This changing sensory experience is part of what makes First Flush Darjeeling so fascinating. Each cup encourages discovery rather than simply delivering one predictable flavour.

Milk can soften and sometimes mask the delicate aromas that make First Flush Darjeeling distinctive. 1888 First Flush Tea is crafted to showcase brightness, floral fragrance, fresh fruit notes and subtle sweetness in their natural form. Enjoying it without milk allows these characteristics to remain clear, while the lively briskness and clean finish become easier to appreciate. It is also an invitation to experience tea differently: rather than adding richness, you focus on fragrance, freshness and texture. For curious tea drinkers, tasting it plain can reveal layers that might otherwise remain hidden beneath milk.

This elegant book box turns a fine tea into an experience that begins before the first sip.

1888 First Flush Tea is wonderfully suited to moments when you want clarity, freshness and a little pause.
