Artisanal Fusion Black Tea

Introducing our Bravey (Aakdehewin) Tea, a masterful blend crafted to capture the essence of diverse tea traditions worldwide. This exquisite blend features a harmonious combination of Assam tea, Keemun, and Rwandan black tea, each contributing unique characteristics to create a truly exceptional cup.
​
Assam tea, renowned for its bold and brisk flavour, forms the robust base of this blend. Grown in the fertile plains of India, Assam tea imparts a full-bodied richness and a malty undertone that provides a strong foundation for the fusion.
​
Keemun, a celebrated Chinese black tea, adds a touch of complexity with its slightly smoky and floral notes. Its elegant aroma and distinctive character infuse the blend with a layer of refinement, contributing to a multi-dimensional tasting experience.
​
Rwandan black tea brings a bright and lively dimension to the fusion. Grown in the highlands of Africa, it offers a brisk and vibrant profile, complementing the depth of the other teas and adding a hint of astringency that balances the flavours.
​
These three exceptional teas form a symphony of flavours that dance across the palate. The fusion is a testament to the artistry of blending, as it seamlessly melds the best of each tea's characteristics into a harmonious composition that satisfies the senses.
