Description
The Guranse tea garden is located near the town of Dhankuta and all its teas are produced by hand. The leaves are rolled for several hours without the aid of machinery to release their aromas for us to enjoy.
This Nepalese second flush tea reveals indulgent cocoa, spiced and honeyed notes, supported by a finely powdered texture, giving its notes a long finish.
