Description
La Mandala is one of the smallest tea factories in Nepal. It is located in the village of Fikkal, and produces magnificent batches of tea in small quantities all year round. The grower named this tea "moonlight" as it is very smooth.
A summer flush with heady floral notes of rose and geranium, which blend with vegetal notes and develop against a silky texture.
