Harvest: 2025 First Flush (Spring)
Puttabong’s First Flush harvest occurs from March through mid-April as the tea bushes awaken from winter dormancy. Warmer temperatures, longer daylight hours, and ideal soil moisture combine with high-altitude conditions (over 6,500 feet) to create a rare, vibrant tea bursting with natural vitality. These early spring leaves are hand-plucked and gently processed to preserve their fragrant essence and complexity.
Puttabong is one of Darjeeling’s oldest and most revered estates. Its steep slopes and historic tea bushes, some over 130 years old, yield teas known for their floral elegance, brisk energy, and unmistakable lightness. Often described as the "Champagne of Darjeelings," this tea is a celebration in every cup.
