A Kenyan black tea with remarkable aromatic character
Harvested in the village of Gatanga, this exceptional Grand Cru celebrates the iconic TRFK/306/1 cultivar. This "purple tea", celebrated for its deep crimson leaves naturally abundant in antioxidants, unfolds a singular aromatic character through expertly calibrated roasting.
