FIRST FLUSH TEAS
The first harvest of the year that takes place from late Feb to April when the leaves are young and fresh.
These teas have a vibrant floral aroma, light golden color, and a delicate yet crisp flavor, and are often called the Champagne of Teas.

SECOND FLUSH TEAS
The second harvest of the year that takes place between May and June when the leaves are well rounded and matured.
These teas have amber color, bold flavor and distinctive nutty, sweet muscatel notes and are Connoisseur’s favorite.

MOONLIGHT TEAS
Moonlight White Teas are exquisite white teas plucked under the soft glow of the moon.
This unique process enhances the flavor profile, infusing them with fruity honeyed notes and a smooth, mellow finish - the finest of all Darjeeling teas.


WHAT IS KAAHU?
Kaahu in Hawaiian language means “guardian” or “protector” — someone entrusted with the safekeeping of something precious. For us, that treasure is tea.
Our Kaahus are the women, who for generations have dedicatedly hand-plucked the tender two leaves and a bud that become your perfect cup of tea. They are the heart of our craft, the hands behind every harvest and the soul behind every sip.
Kaahu is more than just a name - it is a tribute to them and the legacy passed down from one Kaahu to another.

EXCLUSIVE EARLY DAY PLUCKS
The first pluck of the season, Day 1 and 2 leaves are the freshest and most delicate of the harvest. They capture the garden’s purest expression — vibrant, delicately floral and with a natural sweetness that only comes once a year. Produced in extremely limited quantities, these teas are a true treat for tea lovers.
The next best of the season, Day 4 to Day 8 plucks come from the first few days of Darjeeling’s prized First Flush — a season that lasts just around 60 days. These early leaves are rich in natural aroma with a crisp, floral character unique to the very start of spring. With lower yields in the early days, only a small quantity can be harvested, making these teas rare, coveted, and a true treat for connoisseurs.

Curated Collection by Experts
From over 85 Darjeeling tea gardens, our expert tasters meticulously sample countless batches to bring you a selected variety of exceptional teas – the season’s finest. Curated for quality, not quantity.

Only Whole Loose Leaf Teas
At Kaahu, we believe tea is best enjoyed in its purest form. That’s why we offer only whole loose-leaf teas.Not even broken leaves make the cut, preserving the full character of the tea for an authentic brew.

No Tea Bags, No Compromises
Tea bags typically contain tea dust - the lowest grade of tea and which is why we don’t use them. Instead, we provide empty cotton muslin reusable tea bags, so you can enjoy a full bodied brew anytime, anywhere.

Garden Fresh & Transparent
Our teas are picked fresh from the garden, cleaned, and vacuum sealed to preserve freshness, aroma, and quality. Each pack is labelled with its estate of origin - so you always know what you’re drinking and where it comes from.

Single Estate, No Blends
At Kaahu, we stay true to origin. Each tea is single origin and unblended, preserving its authentic character, aroma, and flavor. This lets you experience the true essence of world renowned Darjeeling teas, just as nature intended.
