Description

There is nothing quite like seeing the highlands when the heather is in full blossom. As well as being beautiful it’s also delicate and sweet to taste when brewed. A rich and malty Assam tea works well with this sweetness, and a dash of the best African tea lifts the whole blend to make a smooth and perfectly balanced cup of tea with a long sweet aftertaste.
