A notable aspect of this tea is that the leaves are rolled into small pellets, which result in a dark infusion with a mahogany hue. The flavour is rich, sweet, malty and exquisitely smooth with a short finish. It drinks well with milk.
Preparation guidelines: Allow 1 teaspoon of tea for each 1.5 dl of water and one more for the teapot. Add freshly boiled water and leave it to infuse for 3-5 minutes. Sieve and serve. Suitable for 1 infusion.
