A flavor-rich, buttery black tea with molasses, malt, and rose notes. Incredibly fragrant, with a buttery texture and a grapefruit finish.

Recommended for Indian tea fans for its robust qualities, but also for fans of complex teas for its many layers of flavor and different textures.

Doke Tea Estate grows with all-natural techniques, and is fed by water from the newly-revitalized Doke River. The estate is owned by the Lochan Family, and all the teas are hand-crafted by their daughter, Neha "Dolly" Lochan.
