Description
This organic tea is produced from Shan Tuyet tea plants. It is a Mao Cha, which is a loose dark tea. As the climate in Vietnam is very humid, this tea’s fermentation has been slightly accelerated.
It is interesting to compare it with its versions 2021 and 2022.
A sweet Grand Cru with a richly aromatic palette with notes of minerals and undergrowth and a creamy texture.
