FIKKAL FIRST FLUSH '26
Partially oxidized in the style of Darjeeling First Flush, with fruity and floral notes. It was produced in the village of Fikkal, in the Ilam region of eastern Nepal, a few kilometers from the renowned Darjeeling region of India.
This spring harvest has floral and fruity notes, as well as a light but perceptible roasting and a very pleasant, lingering finish.
Brewing Instructions: This is a premium tea, and we strongly recommend following the basic dosages and using high-quality water to brew this tea.
High-quality water will be water with very low mineral content. Check the dry residue on the label of the water you wish to use; a value between 20 and 100 mg/L will be suitable. That said, this is not an infallible rule; some waters with 130 mg/L work well (Volvic), while others below 100 mg/L have less good results. A fairly reputable and inexpensive water is the Grand Barbier spring, which you can find at Carrefour.
We recommend using a medium-sized teapot to fully enjoy this tea, 300 to 500 ml, although very good results can be achieved in larger containers. Brewing temperatures can be varied, from 80 degrees for a light brew to near-boiling water for a strong brew with more body and slightly more astringency, tannins and bitterness.
