dried fruit – warming – hand-picked

Discover the unique taste of Imereti Forest Sun, an artisanal Georgian black tea hand-picked in the pristine mountain forests of Imereti at 700 meters above sea level. Early spring buds and first leaves are carefully gathered from re-wilded tea bushes surrounding the tea makers secluded home, creating a rare and captivating tea with depth and character.

The brew is smooth and balanced, with gentle tannins and a distinct sweetness. Notes of dark berries, dried fruit, subtle spices, and light woodiness unfold with every sip. Its soothing, velvety character makes it perfect for any time of day, from a warming morning cup to a reflective afternoon ritual. The delicate red liquor and comforting aroma evoke the calm of sunlight filtering through forest trees, offering a sensory escape with each cup.

Ideal for both western-style single steeping and gong fu brewing, this tea evolves beautifully over multiple infusions, revealing new layers of flavor each time.
