About This Tea
What does taste like?
This Orange Valley First Flush black tea offers a vibrant and deeply indulgent experience. It unfolds with an immensely smooth sweetness, revealing lush notes of muskmelon, ripe mango, and sweet orang. It leans sweet, tropical and citrus.
How should I brew ?
Water around 90–100 °C (195–212 °F). In a mug, steep 3–5 min. For gongfu, use 5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Full boil is fine for most blacks. Don't overthink it.
Where does come from?
Grown in Darjeeling, Assam, India from the AV2 cultivar. This batch is from the Spring 2026 harvest.
How much does cost?
Starts at $37.19 from Tea Gardenia, or about $0.74/g. A 50g package gets you around 8 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $4.44 per session. Explore more black teas on Teadar.
