Description
This spring Grand Cru comes to us from Darjeeling. It is harvested in the Namring tea estate plantations of the Teesta valley. Located 1,400 metres above sea level, this 475-hectare estate is one of the region's largest.
A spring Darjeeling that reveals powerful almond and toasted notes, supported by a finely powdered texture that gives its fragrances a long finish.

Rare and ephemeral, teas identified as Grands Crus by Palais des Thés are the result of alchemy between a tea plant variety, its terroir and the talent of an artisan grower. Meticulously plucked, processed and sourced in the most respected tea gardens, our Grands Crus unveil unique flavours that reflect the refinement of their origins.
