Description
A tea harvested in Cisujen, western Indonesia. This white tea is made using the same technique as Chinese teas: after the harvest, the leaves are withered and dried for four days. The fine harvest consists of large leaves and delightful buds.
A smooth Grand Cru whose aromatic notes evoke rose, vanilla, mushroom and willow.
