Description

This black tea is made in the Annapurna plantation, in Pokhara, Nepal. "Muscatel" teas have unique characteristics thanks to the tea Jassid, an insect that feeds on sap, thereby triggering a defensive reaction in the tea plants and creating unique notes. 

This autumnal black tea reveals notes of muscat, wood and cocoa, with a powdery texture giving its notes a long, intense finish.
