Description
Along the heights of Pathivara, tea plants grow alongside Timut pepper (or "grapefruit pepper") plants. The intense notes of the pepper influence the tea's development as the two remain in contact for several days, resulting in a uniquely subtle and balanced blend.
A third flush organic black tea with delicious bergamot and grapefruit notes, which develop into flowery and spiced notes. A Grand Cru like no other!
