Description
This Grand Cru is harvested in Panchthar, Nepal, in the Kalapani plantation, which Palais des Thés recently helped to obtain organic certification. Its name, Junkiri, means “firefly” in Nepalese, a poetic reference to the tea's golden buds.
An autumn black tea with honeyed, rose and maple syrup notes, supported by a smooth texture. An indulgent Grand Cru!

Grands Crus: savour the exceptional
Rare and ephemeral, teas identified as Grands Crus by Palais des Thés are the result of alchemy between a tea plant variety, its terroir and the talent of an artisan grower.
