It is not for nothing that this is called Black gold- about 10 thousand of tea buds are needed for the production of 100 grams of this variety. This figure hides hundreds of hours of hard work of tea pickers. By the way, only experienced workers are allowed for picking: because a certain skill is needed in order not to damage the tender buds.
The young variety appeared on the wave of interest in sweet red teas from small buds, which appeared at the end of the 2000s. The difference of this variety is also that during the heating a special technology of deep roasting with the addition of powdered sugar is used, as a result, tea acquires special notes in the aroma and delicate sweetness.
