Guria Region Kesane Oolong: Georgian Highland Semi-Oxidized Tea

From Georgia's historic Guria highlands comes this distinctive semi-oxidized oolong, distinguished by long, tapered leaves ranging from deep chestnut to gleaming copper. The golden liquor delivers an intricate flavor profile featuring cocoa bean and malt notes, complemented by dried fruit undertones and a subtle vegetal finish. Multiple infusions reveal evolving layers - from initial roasted almond and vanilla hints to a rich, creamy body with sugary nuances.

This refined tea maintains exceptional clarity through multiple steepings while developing a fuller, more enveloping character. The leaves unfurl gracefully to showcase expert craftsmanship and the unique terroir of its Georgian origin.
