Description
This Grand Cru comes from the town of Ozurgeti, in the region of Guria, Georgia. The growers processed this oolong in the same way as a yancha, a "rock tea". This tea type's production process stands out through the intense leaf roasting process at the process' end.
This original Grand Cru reveals complex roasted notes which develop into a fruity finish against a silky texture. Ideal for discovering the world of roasted teas!
