A full fruity black tea with a sweet and floral taste of peach and apricots. Completely hand-produced by Mrs. Leila, who at thirty-fives years of age, represents the future of the Georgian tea industry. Mrs. Leila's mother-in-law Zia, passed along the family's tea producing techniques and secrets so Mrs. Leila could continue the family's tradition of producing high quality hand-made teas from their small family garden. Sourced direct from tea nomad Petr Sič who travels to Georgia multiple times each year in search of the very best teas and works very closely with the producers.
