Description
This Grand Cru is produced in Ozurgeti, in Georgia's Guria region. Our growers had the idea of roasting their green tea, and the result is a series of delicious and unique flavours. Its name, Tsetskhli Chai, means "fire tea". A rare tea you must try for yourself!
An unconventional green tea which reveals powerful roasted notes and an elegant astringency which gives the fragrances a long finish.
