Our Spring Flush Green & Spring Flush Black teas come from the first harvest in Spring after a Winter dormancy.  This first Spring harvest is the prime cut of tea, prized around the world for the unique qualities of flavour, aroma and cup smell.  All of which you will find in Arakai Estate's Spring Flush tea, as well as a long, lingering sweetness in the mouth.

We only get one shot at this harvest and we put everything into ensuring a uniform plantation and clean harvest.  Many a late night is spent in the processing factory gently coaxing the finest qualities from the leaf.  It can take up to three days from harvest to the final dry - always tasting, smelling and sorting to ensure only the best leaves make it through the process.

From the late Spring, Summer and early Autumn harvests come our 'Premium' range of Green and Black tea.  We use the same process and same high level of quality control in harvesting and sorting to create these light and refreshing teas.

We produce much higher volumes of these two teas, but still stand behind them as strongly representing the quality and flavour that Arakai Estate is dedicated to producing.
