Description

This tea is harvested in Gopetar at an altitude of over 2,000 metres, in a little-known tea garden. Its long black leaves with copper glints and sparkling liqueur have been likened to the fur of red pandas, which are commonly found in Nepal.

This summer flush offers intense woody and floral fragrances which develop against a delicately powdered texture.
