Description
Georgian black tea of ​​the highest quality – one bud, one leaf. The leaves of this tea are plucked exclusively by hand from wild tea bushes located high in the mountain forests of western Georgia, far from civilization and human interference.

The young leaves and buds picked at the first harvest are the youngest and most tender part of the tea plant and are said to produce the purest and freshest cup of tea the plant is capable of producing. The leaves of this tea are harvested when they are quite soft, along with the new shoots on the tea bushes. Picked in a combination of one bud and one leaf, first crops contain the most antioxidants or catechins, the stimulator L-theanine, as well as caffeine. Tea with a delicate flavor.

Georgian wild shrubs are unique in the world. These are former Soviet-era plantations that were abandoned for 30-50 years. During this time, nature took care of the plants and created a unique ecosystem. The soil is enriched by forests and mountain water while the tea bushes are naturally shaded by tall trees. These conditions give this tea a unique aroma and unique chemical content, not found in other teas due to the high pigment content from the natural shade of the forest.
