About the Garden

The story of Darjeeling tea began on the slopes of Puttabong, where Dr. Archibald Campbell first planted Chinese tea seeds in 1841, laying the foundation for an industry that would become world-renowned. Formally established in 1852, the estate stretches between 2,000 and 6,000 feet, nurturing treasured heritage China bushes alongside select clonal cultivars. Every seasonal harvest carries forward the remarkable legacy of the birthplace of Darjeeling tea, cherished by tea lovers for generations.

For Individual Customers

Puttabong First Flush is valued for its fresh seasonal character, delicate floral aroma and bright golden liquor. It is prepared from tender leaves gathered during the first spring harvest, when the new shoots possess a naturally lively quality. The tea offers a refined combination of floral sweetness, gentle citrus, fresh herbal notes and pleasant briskness. Unlike heavier black teas, its body remains light and refreshing. The clean texture and graceful finish make it an excellent choice for tea drinkers seeking an authentic First Flush Darjeeling tea with clarity, freshness and a distinctive spring character.

Puttabong First Flush has a light, lively taste with delicate floral sweetness and subtle citrus brightness. Gentle herbal and fresh fruit nuances appear as the tea develops on the palate. Its pleasant briskness brings energy to the cup without creating excessive bitterness or heaviness. The finish is clean, refreshing and softly lingering, allowing its seasonal character to remain noticeable after every sip. This elegant balance of fragrance, freshness and flavour makes it suitable for people who prefer refined Darjeeling tea with a lighter body rather than strong milk-based black tea.

Puttabong First Flush is best served without milk because it possesses a light body and delicate flavour. Milk can conceal the subtle floral, citrus and herbal notes that define the tea’s spring character. Drinking it plain allows its bright golden liquor, fresh aroma and lively taste to remain clear and balanced. Sugar is generally unnecessary, although a small amount may be added according to personal preference. For the most authentic cup, brew the leaves gently and serve the tea without additions. This preparation highlights the refined qualities of premium First Flush Darjeeling tea.

Puttabong First Flush is ideal for the morning or early afternoon because its fresh aroma and lively briskness create a light, refreshing cup. It can be enjoyed during a quiet break, while reading, during conversations or when serving guests. The tea pairs well with mild biscuits, tea cakes, fresh fruit and lightly flavoured snacks that do not overpower its delicate character. Its clean finish also makes it enjoyable without food. Brew it fresh and drink it warm to appreciate its floral fragrance, citrus brightness and distinctive First Flush Darjeeling character.
