Pomelo Black 30g
One of our best-selling black teas, this comes from a Buddhist temple in eastern Taiwan, where the head monk is a brilliant tea master. Naturally grown and meticulously crafted, the tea’s malted honey character harmonizes beautifully with the bright, uplifting aroma of pure pomelo blossoms.
The temple also grows exceptional pomelos, whose trees produce abundant, fragrant flowers. During production, the tea leaves are brought into direct contact with the fresh blossoms — their perfume weaves into the tea, creating a vivid, luminous character. Similar in concept to jasmine tea but entirely unique, this is a radiant, floral black with a lingering citrus lift - think earl grey and jasmine teas, yet totally different and world class.
