Darjeeling First Flush Teas tend to look more green than Darjeeling Second Flush teas.

Lindsey Goodwin
Definition: Darjeeling First Flush Tea is plucked in the first growing season of each year in India's Darjeeling region. It is noted for its floral, earthy flavor. It may have a more greenish color than Darjeeling Second Flush Tea. Although Darjeelings are traditionally black teas, some producers are now making other types, such as oolong and white tea, during the spring flush.
