Rwandan Green
Rwandan Green

Origin:  Rwanda
Estate:  Rukeri Estate
Organic & Kosher

SerendipiTea is proud to include this special tea amongst our offerings. Rukeri Estate was the first garden in Rwanda to manufacture orthodox Green Tea (rather than CTC) & the first tea garden/factory to become certified organic & to introduce green technologies like waste recycling. It's a pioneer on workers' rights, having campaigned against child labor & becoming the first private company in Rwanda to have signed a collective bargaining agreement with its workers.

Rukeri's garden conditions are excellent for growing tea: hot & humid days, cool evenings, rainy seasons, rich soil, hilly terrain & elevations reaching nearly 6,000 ft. This lovely green, OP is deeply fragrant & smooth in the cup. Enjoy the aroma of the dry leaf which reveals hints of apricot, the steeped leaves which offer notes of steamed greens & faint wisps of tobacco. Then sip a smooth, mildly astringent mellow cup of yellow chiffon-hued tea.

Steeping Instructions:

1. Fill kettle with fresh water, then heat.

2. Warm your teapot with a little hot water, discard, place your tea leaves in teapot, allowing heat of the pot to release bouquet of the tea leaves.

*Vary time according to taste, & remember that steeping tea leaves beyond 3 mins does not contribute to flavor, only bitterness.
