It is with incredible excitement, that I am now able to offer a fantastic fresh black tea from a very new and local tea producing region; Jersey Island in the English Channel!
A truly fantastic black tea with sweet honeyed notes typically found in a Taiwanese black tea, coupled with a light dark berry notes associated with Georgian black teas.
The producer Jersey Fine Tea, established their tea gardens in 2017, utilising tea seeds from Nepal and Georgia, on three plots totalling just six acres.
Due to the small size of the garden and low yields, it took over a month to produce the 1kg of black ordered!
