ORIGIN
This blend was born from the idea to create a morning blend that meets all the criteria of traditional breakfast tea, as well as all the needs of 'Gongfu tea' lovers. As a result, this tea can satisfy the most minimal and the highest expectations. Can be brewed both Eastern and Western ways. The tea consists of high-quality loose leaf red (black) tea, blended in specific proportions to provide a rich, multifaceted and complex flavour. Young buds and leaves are processed by experienced tea masters to create a high-quality product. Contains both buds and leaves, which provides delicate sweet notes and a rich, deep taste. Tea reveals itself differently depending on the brewing method.
