Orthodox qualities from Africa have become exceptional rarities. The export business today is predominated by CTC teas and only the highland tea estate Kaproret, Saramek and Chemase are still cultivating hybrids of Chinese bushes. The demand largely exceeds the small yields, but thanks to longstanding business relationships, we have been able to secure the best qualities from the second plucking period. Due to their striking golden-brown leaf tips, their shining orange-colored cup and the strong, slightly flowery flavor, these are often mistaken for Chinese Yunnan teas.
