The Goomtee First Flush exhibits an abundance of the fresh, lively, "green" flavor notes so popular in Europe, especially Germany & France. A perfect example of a 'modern-style' Darjeeling First Flush, this year's Goomtee is deliciously bright and assertive; dry, with a crisp finish.

The Goomtee Tea Estate is located in the Kurseong (the land of orchids) Valley of Darjeeling at an altitude ranging from 3,280 – 6.561 feet. The garden is ideally situated for the production of quality Darjeeling tea. It is located in the prime quality tea belt between the tea estates of Jungpana to the East and Makaibari and Castleton to the West.

The weather in Goomtee Estate is perfect for growing tea: the temperatures are cool to moderate and rainfall is generous. As a result it helps the garden produce some of the most aromatic teas ever produced in Darjeeling.

Steep 1 infusion at 2 - 3 minutes.
Water temperature should be 185˚ - 195˚ F
