Description
This Grand Cru is harvested in Ozurgeti, in the region of Guria. It is made by Georgian growers Nika and Baaka. They experimented with placing the tea leaves in contact with the strawberries that are picked near their estate, to create a tea like no other!
An indulgent green tea, with notes that are reminiscent of strawberry jam, red berries and vanilla, combined with vegetal hints. A marvellous discovery!
