Description
This tea comes from a small plantation called La Mandala, located in the village of Fikkal, in the Ilam valley. It is one of the smallest tea factories in the country, and is the place where this delicious autumn black tea was first made.
A delicious Grand Cru which reveals woody, floral and praline fragrances, supported by an elegant astringency.
