Description
This tea is produced in Kangra, India's northwestern region. It's an unusual tea that looks like an oolong. Its carefully crumpled leaves are only slightly oxidised, which contributes to the vivacious and fresh notes of this Grand Cru.
Camphor, vegetal, and floral notes develop against a round texture in this highly aromatic oolong.
