Description
A Grand Cru crafted exclusively from buds
This Grand Cru is a dian hong cha, which is to say a black tea from China produced in the province of Yunnan. Its outstanding harvest, gathered in April 2023, consists entirely of the delicate golden buds from the mengku cultivar. Extraordinarily aromatic, these buds deliver an exemplary mouthfeel. A tea of remarkable refinement.
A nuanced black tea featuring sumptuous notes that combine intense honey, fruit and floral characteristics, complemented by subtle leather undertones. An exceptional Grand Cru!
