Description
In the heights of Pathivara, tea plants grow alongside 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.
An organic Grand Cru with intense citrus notes, which combine with the floral, honeyed and woody notes revealed by a delicately powdered texture.

Grands Crus: savour the exceptional
