Description

A classic tea from one of a revered estate and this tea never fails to impress. A bright tasting, full-bodied tea that is as satiating as it gets. The clean notes of citrus and sweet greens dominate the top of the palate as the brisk tea fills the sense with wonder. From citrus blossom, fresh nuts and apricot jam in the subtle notes to ripe stone fruits and a gentle floral undertone all merged into a consistent green profile. The tea washes down on a light note of watermelon that doesn’t linger. The tea is not too sweet in itself, like dried figs. Given the sensory delight that this tea is, it is best taken by itself to start or finish a day.
