An exceptional terroir in the heart of Africa
Rwanda Rukeri black tea is born on the high plateaus of the Kinihira district, where the altitude and temperate climate create ideal conditions for tea cultivation. This volcanic region, rich in minerals, gives the leaves a remarkable aromatic complexity.
Leaves cultivated with respect
From organic farming, this tea respects the environment and preserves the natural richness of Rwandan soils. The tea plants grow slowly at this altitude, thus developing concentrated aromas and a unique personality.
A preserved traditional know-how
The Orange Pekoe 1 processing ensures consistent quality and whole leaves that fully release their flavors during steeping. This grade reflects the care taken at every stage of production.
An authentic sensory experience
From the moment you open the package, the woody notes reveal themselves, accompanied by vegetal nuances that evoke the freshness of the African mountains. On the palate, this tea develops a balanced structure, both full-bodied and round.
A rich and harmonious taste profile
The coppery liquor reveals subtle malty flavors that gradually unfold. The light astringency brings liveliness without ever dominating, creating a perfect balance to accompany your mornings.
Remarkable versatility
This tea adapts to your preferences: plain to appreciate all its complexity, or with a splash of milk for comforting smoothness. As an iced version, it reveals surprising freshness, perfect for hot days.
Preparation tips for optimal tasting
To reveal all the richness of this organic black tea, follow a few simple rules that will make the difference in your cup.
The ideal temperature
Heat your water to 95°C to extract the aromas without burning the leaves. This temperature allows the tannins to develop harmoniously.
