Description
This Grand Cru hails from Ozurgeti, nestled in Georgia's Guria region. Inspired by innovation, our local growers decided to roast their green tea, giving birth to a delightful array of distinctive flavors. Known as Tsetskhli Chai, meaning "fire tea," it's a rare gem that deserves a place in your collection. Don't miss out on experiencing this one-of-a-kind tea!
An unconventional green tea which reveals powerful roasted notes and an elegant astringency which gives the fragrances a long finish.
