Georgian BOP – WS

In the western area of Georgia, at the foothills of the Caucasus Mountains, the fertile soil, fresh running water and clean air make exemplary growing conditions for this tea.

This tea comes from a garden located close to the national park Mtirala in the southwest area of Georgia. The Mtirala National Park is located between the Black Sea and the Adjara Mountains. The name Mtirala (“to cry”) refers to the abundant rainfall in this area.

For decades teas in this area were produced only for the Russian market, however, approximately 10 years ago the producers began exporting them as well. The peak tea producing season here is from April to August.

This small leafed, Broken Orange Pekoe, tea yields an amber colored cup with a forest aroma and a smooth full flavor with a slight oaky taste and a touch of sweetness in the cup. Perfect at lunchtime or as an afternoon pick me up.

Brew tea at 212º – steep for 2-3 minutes
