Yet another wonderful speciality from the country of the Himalaya: Himalayan Imperial Black, a black tea from the tea plantation Jun Chiyabari. This quality is not only black, but also produced using a special method. Handmade and thoroughly fermented, this tea presents an Oolong-like leaf structure, long and slightly twisted with many copper-coloured tips. The infusion itself unfolds a strong, spicy scent followed by a mouth-watering cup with expressive, mildly sweet caramel and cocoa notes as well as a hint of malt.
