Description
Tea may vary depending on production, and may not exactly match the photos seen here. We utilize this product to practice appraising and blending leaves in small 1-2 kg production lots. This helps understand the activity of producers. As experimentation we strive for consistency of flavor matching the quality level, but do expect differences from production to production.
