Description
In the highlands of Pathivara (3000 m at its summit), Uday, the manager of the plantation, carried out a surprising experiment: he put tea leaves in contact with rose petals from his village several times during the manufacturing process.
An organic, atypical black tea which unveils floral, vegetal and almond notes, supported by a fine astringency which gives the notes a long finish.
Also delicious iced!
