Description
The Guranse garden has just appointed a new tea-maker originally from Darjeeling, who used to create some of the finest teas in "thunder country" across the border. The name of this magnificent tea means "moonlight".
A spring black tea with notes of white flowers, citrus and vanilla which develop on the palate thanks to its generous texture and fine astringency.
