Description
This green tea comes from Nepal. It is produced in the La Mandala tea garden, which is located over 2,000 metres above sea level in the Ilam valley. This estate is a well-kept secret, and much of the production is performed by hand.
This Nepalese Grand Cru boasts delicately powdered tannins and is characterised by intense vegetal and mineral notes.
