CSTN-50
This innovation from Japan features a black tea from a controlled fermentation with an assorted mix of fine khaki leaves.
Its dark red liqueur is rich and full, with powerful aromas of dried fruit, bark and roasted cereal. Hints of spices (vanilla) and sugar embellish the flavours of this surprising (and difficult to classify) tea: Pu er or black tea ?!
