SKU: T/SPRING AMBROSIA /Ex22/26
Manufactured at the cusp of the first flush season on 31st March 2026, this tea is crafted exclusively from pure China bushes growing at high elevations in Turzum. Fine early spring shoots are selectively hand-plucked and withered under controlled conditions to retain aromatic precursors. Gentle rolling and precise oxidation are employed to develop a bright, floral character while preserving the inherent delicacy of the leaf. The firing is carefully managed to lock in freshness and clarity, resulting in a refined early-season black tea.
