From Camellia Sinensis

This black tea comes to us from western Georgia, in the Kolkhida region, where the breeze from the Black Sea meets that from the Caucasus mountains, creating a unique terroir for the tea bushes planted in the early 19th century. Lovers of Chinese black teas will find familiar flavours here.

The large twisted leaves produce a clear amber liquor with delicate aromas of dried rose, cocoa and walnut bark. Gentle fruity notes of candied lemon, sweets and malt accompany the freshness of the spicy taste (nutmeg).

A tea that combines suppleness and complexity.

gong fu!

j’avais pas de très hautes attentes en achetant ce thé relativement abordable, mais il est absolument délicieux! il ressemble effectivement beaucoup à un thé noir chinois, comme l’indique la description de Camellia Sinensis. pour moi, la saveur la plus présente est celle du cacao, un peu comme du beurre de cacao/chocolat blanc. il y a aussi des notes d’agrumes semblables à celles des thés noirs « anglais » classiques (orange pekoe, etc.) et un agréable côté malté. très peu d’astrigence et de tanins, vraiment une belle découverte d’un terroir que je n’avais jamais eu l’occasion de découvrir.
—————
my expectations weren’t very high when i bought this relatively cheap tea, but it is absolutely delicious! as noted in its description, it’s very similar to a Chinese black tea. strong cocoa/cocoa butter notes, somewhat similar to white chocolate, with citrusy notes that remind me of classic “english” teas like orange pekoe, and a nice malty aroma. very little astringency/tannins. very happy to have discovered this tea from a tea terroir i hadn’t explored before.
