The leaves are picked in the early hours of the morning ( between 4am and 6am) to prevent the sun from altering its distinct aroma and flavour. “It looks like 24 carat gold” and is the healthiest beverage on the planet. It is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that have powerful effects on the body and many other benefits.
“This is a special type of tea which we developed by using a clone from their own garden. This tea is totally hand made and hardly 50 grms of it could be produced in a single day. Apart from that, plucking the leaves for this tea is also done only during sun rise and in suitable weather, Lohia Said”.
This phenomenon price also speaks that quality has no end and tea lovers are ready to pay any price for such innovative and boutique quality tea, said Mr Lohia.
