The longer, wiry leaves contribute to a tea that holds up well through steeping and delivers a confident, traditional profile. While decaffeinated, the tea maintains a sense of brightness and structure that tea lovers often seek for daily ritual or afternoon refreshment.

The cup offers a medium-strong brew with bold flavor and a gentle astringency. Expect floral hints balanced by tannic depth, making it versatile enough to pair with a range of foods and occasions.
