Description
This Grand Cru is a Dian Hong Cha, which is a Chinese black tea from Yunnan province. When it is harvested, only fine golden buds of exceptional quality are chosen, which are rich in perfumes and offer an ideal tasting texture. A subtly exquisite tea.
A complex black tea with intensely honeyed, fruity and floral gourmet notes, alongside leather hints. A remarkable Grand Cru!
