Description
An atypical tea reminiscent of Chinese white teas due to the withering process. It also recalls the aromatic notes of floral and fruit characteristic of oolong. Harvested in the Colombian Andes cordillera, it is a quite rare Grand Cru.
A delicious organic white tea with highly balanced honeyed, fruity and vanilla fragrances which develop against a very round texture.
