ORGANIC FOP RUKERI, RWANDA

The tea industry has come to be Rwanda is most important economic sector and one of its largest employers. More than 90 % of the production is exported. The plantation Rukeri was founded by Europeans almost 50 years ago and only produces 700 t of orthodox tea per year. In order to keep the leaves from breaking, they are moved only minimally during the withering process. Our quality has a long, wiry, mid-brown leaf and its taste is slightly spicy with a pleasant citrus note. The brightly shining cup releases a spicy-fresh aroma.
