Story
Handcrafted in Ozurgeti, in the heart of Georgia’s historic tea-growing region, this tea reflects a quiet revival of Georgian tea craftsmanship.
Made from one bud with two to three young leaves, the harvest undergoes a traditional 8-hour natural fermentation, allowing the leaves to develop richness and sweetness while preserving their lively character. Produced in small batches with careful hand processing, this tea celebrates simplicity, balance and the unique terroir of western Georgia.
Fresh from the 2024 harvest, it offers a vibrant interpretation of Georgian red tea—approachable, expressive and effortlessly enjoyable.
