I don't really know, but in tropical climates, i.e. Sri Lanka and, I assume, Southern India, tea is plucked the year round.

Around South Asia(Bangladesh,India and SriLanka)- the first flush plucking season is- March-April.

So there's no "first flush" for Ceylon and South-Indian teas at all?

No, but there are quality seasons varying from district to district.
at all?
district.

Hei Jon, alltid hyggelig aa treffe en norsk teelsker!
Blair, just let me have some time to go through my notes, then I will post what I know. It's not easy to find vendors that offer special quality seson teas, though.
