Organic Banana Red (Black) Tea from Nepal 10g

This red banana tea from Nepal, in addition to coming from a region still little known in the West and being grown and produced at high altitudes, also has the particularity of being oxidized wrapped in banana leaves. The processing of camellia leaves consists of being wrapped in banana leaves during the moment in which the enzymes oxidize, creating larger compounds that give the leaves their characteristic brown color and tannic flavor. This experimental technique leads to the result of slightly lowering the temperature at which certain oxidation reactions take place, best preserving some of the sweeter and more aromatic flavors of this product. In addition to oxidation, thanks to the protection given by the banana leaves, the tea also undergoes a quick roasting which further develops the sweetness of the product and reduces the impact of the tannins.
