Description
Between myth and terroir, this exclusive Georgian Grand Cru to Palais des Thés celebrates Amiran. The Caucasian equivalent of Prometheus, he defeated the dragon that had swallowed the sun. This smoked tea with hornbeam wood evokes the beast’s breath and the brilliance of celestial fire!
This rare tea develops smoky notes reminiscent of Lapsang Souchong before leaving a sweet sensation on the palate, with hints of honey and caramel.
