Tasting notes

An organic black tea cultivated in the gardens of Shangri-La, in the middle of the Himalayan mountains. A fine harvest of a bud and a leaf and a perfectly mastered rolling, make this unique tea a small jewel of our Nepalese.

A dense and silky texture for a tea that flows deeply, pleasantly lining all the walls in its path, the tannins bringing a welcome extra structure to carry this very rich liquor.

The aromas play on a woody, honeyed register, with a hint of cocoa and notes of toasted cereals, so much so that one could quickly imagine the honey flowing on a slice of wholemeal bread.
The second infusion, slightly sweeter, remains very stable, expressing even more all the resources of these leaves.

Be careful, however, as there is a risk of getting a hot flash after the first cup and a strong sensation of opening. This tea is a real call to relaxation and voluptuousness. To leave for work in a good mood... Or get lost on the way.
