Description
This Grand Cru is harvested in Tinchuley, Darjeeling District, and is the work of Sonam Lama. Lama is seen as a mentor to some of Nepal's biggest tea makers, and this tea is a truly intimate creation of his: it is made for meditation, reflecting his life as a monk.
This delicious third flush black tea contains complex woody, floral and vanilla notes that develop against a highly smooth texture.

Grands Crus: savour the exceptional
Rare and ephemeral, teas identified as Grands Crus by Palais des Thés are the result of alchemy between a tea plant variety, its terroir and the talent of an artisan grower. Meticulously plucked, processed and sourced in the most respected tea gardens, our Grands Crus unveil unique flavours that reflect the refinement of their origins.
