This vintage tea from the Lumbini Tea Valley tea estate is characterized by beautifully pearled leaves and a deep, dark color in the cup. Its flavors are woody, with an almost malty and spicy edge. Delicious for a sweet or savory breakfast.

This proximity to the forest creates a cool, misty, preserved ecosystem for the plantation that is conducive to tea growing.
