Guatemala Black Tea
Good looks, impeccable taste, enduring aroma & style all its own. SerendipiTea is pleased to be the first to introduce state-side this fine leaf from Chirrepec Tea Cooperative in Coban, Guatemala (elevation approx. 4300 ft above sea level). Tea has been grown in this region since the late 19th century near sacred caves where Mayan rituals still take place. Unique, medium-bodied, smooth. *WORLD TEA EXPO BEVERAGE CHALLENGE ~ ORIGINS AWARD ~ GUATEMALAN BLACK (2024)
