Our verdict:
This tea is really quite unique. Plucked and processed entirely by hand at the Jukro farm, thisis one of the best black teas produced in the country. The cocoa, vanilla bouquet evokes therich note of the China Qimen Mao Feng teas, but its strength, richness and intensity takes usmore in the direction of the best dark Wu Longs from Taiwan. An outstanding gastronomicexperience!

Throughout the year, our experts travel in the tea plantations looking for the best pluckings and new, rare, delicious teas.

The fact that we travel so extensively, that we taste and buy on location has many advantages and allows us to find rare crops by looking outside the traditional supplier circuit, to taste and to share with you the harvests of small plantations, which are often hidden away.

Visiting tea estates regularly and thereby establishing long-lasting relations with our suppliers allows us to guarantee regular quality control of the teas we buy, and to continue our mission: to bring you the best quality teas and to share our travels and experience with you, while concerning ourselves with environmental issues, working conditions on the estates and the fair trade practices to which we adhere.
