First Flush Black Tea 500g 8-pack
In Turkey, tea is grown exclusively in the eastern Black Sea region. The tea gardens produce four harvests a year. Tea lovers, in particular, know that the first harvest takes place in May. After spending the winter under a blanket of snow, the tea returns to nature in its freshest form and is harvested in May at its most tender.
Tea harvested in May embodies the freshness and energy of spring, reflecting this in its flavor. Tea1986's Gift May Tea is the first harvest of the year and therefore has the highest antioxidant properties. During this time of year, the soil is moist and the tea is full of energy.
Because Tea1986 Gift May Tea comes from the first harvest of the year, it preserves all the values that humans have associated with spring for millennia. Therefore, it is much more productive and flavorful than the three later harvests. Thanks to these special qualities, our Tea1986 May Tea is preferred by thousands of traditional tea lovers in Turkey.
