Darjeeling First Flush
Muscatel, fresh grass and a hint of apricot. Spring harvest.
We visit small gardens in Darjeeling, Yunnan, Uji and Nuwara Eliya, taste every harvest, and bring home only what we would serve to friends.
A few favourites from our current harvest.
Muscatel, fresh grass and a hint of apricot. Spring harvest.
Bright, sweet and marine, shaded for twenty days.
Honeyed malt and cocoa from hand-picked buds.
Orchid aroma and a creamy, lingering finish.
Our house evening blend: rooibos, vanilla and orange peel.
Spring green tea hand-rolled with jasmine blossoms.
Tavienne started with a single table in a Vienna courtyard and a stubborn rule: no tea goes on the shelf until all four of us have tasted it, three times, on three different days.
Today we work with thirty-eight small gardens, pay above market price and publish the harvest date and elevation of every tea.
Three small things we care about.
We order small lots each season, so every tin is the new crop.
Four tasters, three sessions, no exceptions.
