Picked in the summer, this green tea with is remarkable strong and suave brew blends perfectly with the floral and refined flavour of the lotus flower. The little tea gardens in Darjeeling are to be found on the foothills of the Himalayas on very steep slopes with mountain mists and a unique terroir.
Flowers are part of everyday life for Indians, they have a strong symbolic dimension and they are used for all the important moments in life (festivals, medicine, temple offerings, meditation). The lotus flower is the national flower of India. It symbolizes wisdom and spiritual elevation. While rose is the most classic definition of romance, these two flowers make the tea an intense, smooth, beautiful drink!
