Description
This black tea comes from the Kalapani tea factory, perched on the heights of Panchthar, Nepal. Its name, "Sungava", means "orchid" in Nepalese, and refers to the floral fragrance given off by its leaves as they are processed.
This indulgent autumnal black tea combines notes of cocoa and wood, the sweetness of honey, and a long finish thanks to its subtle powdery texture.
