Organic green Darjeeling tea
lotus flavour
Plucked in summer, this green tea has a remarkably intense and mellow infusion that blends perfectly with the flowery and refined flavour of the lotus flower. The small tea gardens in Darjeeling are cultivated in the foothills of the Himalayas, on very steep slopes with high altitude mists and unique terroir. Flowers are part of Indians daily life, they have a strong symbolic dimension and are used in any of life's important moments (celebrations, health care, offerings to the temple, meditation). The lotus is India's national flower, it symbolises wisdom and spiritual elevation.
