Description
In the jungles of Pai, stunning tea plants grow freely amid lush biodiversity. These assamica plants are what Mrs. Dara uses to make a black tea, which is then roasted following traditional Chinese rock tea methods.
A characterful black tea with intense toasted, woody and dark fruit notes which develop against a highly smooth texture.
