Description
A delicious summer tea whose pleasantly mellow flavour supports warm notes of woods, fruits, flowers, and spices.
The Guranse garden (situated at an altitude of between 1,000 and 2,200 metres) is one of the highest in the world, and produces some of the best Nepalese teas. The excellent climate and specific terroir give this tea its unique character, which no other region is capable of achieving.
Guranse leaves and buds are plucked by experts and processed to very high standards, resulting in premium, highly aromatic teas.
