Description
In the heights of Pathivara, tea plants grow alongside native timur plants, also known as "timur peppers". Uday, the plantation's manager, decided to leave timur berries and tea to react together for several days.
This summer tea offers powerful citrus fragrances blended with bergamot orange, grapefruit and lime, which develop into floral, spiced notes.
