Description
In the heart of the Javan mountains, this plantation produces delicious teas. This black tea is unconventional, as it is made using Jin Xuan, a cultivar that is traditionally used to make oolong tea.
This Grand Cru develops fine fruity and floral notes, which bring to mind roses, geraniums and exotic fruit.
