The perfect ally for pleasurable breaks, this micro-lot was produced during the explorations of Susma and Purna, producers in Nepal. With notes of stewed fruit and chocolate nuances, it blends indulgent vanilla and praline notes with a very supple texture.
An easy tea to enjoy, to be drunk without moderation.
A sumptuous First Flush 2024.
WHY THIS CHOICE OF TEA?
During my stay in Nepal in spring 2024, I stayed with my Nepalese family at heart. This family owns around 10 hectares of tea bushes and, recently, produces their own tea thanks to the construction of a small factory in the middle of the tea gardens. It is Purna who, with his wife Susma, transforms the leaves.
This black tea comes from the year’s first harvests.
Purna wanted to produce two distinct profiles. A black tea with medium to intense oxidation and a light roast at the end of the process that brings subtle nuances of chocolate and cereals. And a so-called “Darjeeling style” tea with much lighter oxidation and controlled drying to bring out the vegetal world rather than the stewed-fruit and chocolate one.
Purna Black Tea belongs to the first category.
