An approach to 1st flush 2021 Darjeeling tea:

   The 1st flush 2021 Darjeeling tea harvest has finally started in almost all the tea gardens of Darjeeling. We are very excited to get back to work after a long break due to the Covid 19 pandemic outbreak last year and the lockdown in India which started from the 23rd of March `2020 and went on for more than 3 months. Like any other industries even Darjeeling tea industry suffered a lot and now we are hopeful that slowly things will take a positive turn and we will start getting some of the finest Darjeeling teas from the tea gardens of Darjeeling as before.

     We are in regular touch with the tea makers of the different tea estates of Darjeeling right from the month of February`2021 until now and the biggest challenge of the moment is that there is no rain in Darjeeling for the last 5 months as a result of which all the tea gardens are going through a draught like situation. The collection of raw leaves are extremely low than before so the actual 1st flush Darjeeling tea production is also low in quantity at the moment but all the tea gardens are using their finest tea pluckers to do selective tea plucking and produce some world class 1st flush 2021 Darjeeling teas.

   We have been continuously tasting the fresh tea samples from many plantations of Darjeeling and have decided to mostly select the teas plucked from the climate resistant clonal cultivars like AV2,P312 ,BB157 etc. as we are seeing better teas are being manufactured this season from the said cultivars. We are expecting our list of 1st flush 2021 Darjeeling teas to be completed by 1st week of April 2021 and we assure that as usual there will be a list of world`s best quality 1st flush Darjeeling teas in our list. We request all Darjeeling tea lovers to keep visiting our website www.teaemporium.net for the best quality 1st flush 2021 Darjeeling teas.
