Description
Shree Dwarika is a recently founded tea garden located north of the town of Darjeeling, in which the land where the tea is grown lies at 600 to 1,200 metres above sea level. This high quality plantation was rebuilt in 2006 using the structure of the previous garden. An amazing discovery!
This powerful spring Darjeeling reveals vanilla, almond and vegetal notes, which develop against a finely astringent texture. A characterful organic tea.
