Black tea from Colombia - La Cumbre Bitaco

The hidden wealth of the Andes: a deep, woody black tea

Nestled at an altitude of over 1,800 metres on the western flank of the Colombian Andes, this black tea comes from the lush gardens of La Cumbre. This high-altitude terroir, bathed in mist and light, gives its leaves a unique character: vigorous, malty and gourmet.

The aromatic profile is deeply expressive: warm wood, raw cocoa, melted cane sugar and a touch of honey. On the palate, the texture is dense but supple, without roughness. We find the signature of the great full-bodied black teas, with an unexpected South American twist.

A wonderful discovery for those who love teas with character, to be enjoyed neat or with a dash of milk.
