The all-women team of tea makers at Tea Studio created this tea in response to a challenge from one of the attendees of our Guided Tea Trips. Tasting Notes: This well-shaped tea begins with a heavy aroma of dried plums. The tea jumps on the tongue with notes of bright, tart Asian pear balanced against comforting, sweet red beans. It is a whole-leaf black tea, a rarity for the Nilgris, and the result is a tea with more weight and heft than is common for the region. Lovers of Taiwan’s black teas from Sun Moon Lake will
