Description
An intense aromatic profile
This tea hails from the village of Gatanga. Crafted from the purple cultivar TRFK/306/1, it owes both its unique colour and its richness in antioxidants to a high anthocyanin content. Thanks to highly precise drying, the tea reveals a rare complexity.
A tea of character with a velvety texture, opening up an intense aromatic palette – at once fruity and honeyed, interlaced with delicate spicy notes.
