A gentle thread of herbaceous warmth, reminiscent of Italian basil, winds through the heart of the cup, while creamy, buttery textures lend it a silken depth. Hints of fresh green olive dance lightly at the edges, adding intrigue, before a final kiss of Gondhoraj lemon zest lifts the experience into a bright, unforgettable crescendo. It is not just tea—it is a journey, intimate and ethereal.
