Ingredients
100 % Gantiadi green teaBrew & Taste
Georgian Gantiadi green tea has a light, sweet and slightly astringent taste. In the aroma, you can detect boiled chard. Its infusion has a light, bright color.
Origins
The history of Georgian tea dates back to 1809 when Prince Mamia V Gurieli, the last ruler of the Gur principality in western Georgia, ordered the first seeds of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis). He thus took a major step in Georgia's journey to becoming one of the top tea producers.
The Guria region is known for its unique microclimate, which combines high mountain air with sea breezes, creating optimal conditions for the growth of tea bushes. The tea grown in the local mountains is propagated only by seeds, which contributes to its complex flavor and distinctive aroma. The short growing season, which lasts only 7 months due to the cold winters, gives the tea plants time to regenerate and gain strength.
It is important to stress that tea plants grow in Georgia without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and all harvesting is done by hand. This care and the traditional way of processing the leaves give the tea a unique quality that makes it distinctly different from conventional Asian teas.
