Description
This Grand Cru comes from the Guranse tea estate, located near
the town of Dhankuta and overlooked by a temple dedicated to
the serpent guardian deity Naga. Its leaves are harvested and left
to wither overnight before being rolled by hand. A true work of art!
This spring black tea reveals a powdered texture, and stands out
thanks to its lingering almond notes, which combine with floral,
fruity and vegetal notes.
