Description
Barsha means "rain", in tribute to the rainfall that shapes the leaves and the buds of this end-of-year harvest. This splendid tea is made in the little- known Panchthar tea garden, by a young woman, Apsara, who shares her first name with a nymph.
This autumn tea is shrouded in mystery, revealing floral, fruity and fresh almond notes. A subtle tea that's hard to pin down.
