Rolled, wild quince leaf tea from Tsageri in the Lechkhumi region of Georgia. The tea is foraged for from the wild-growing quince trees which grow near Shota and Ia’s nearby home. The couple, who specialise in traditional Georgian herbals, make this special tea only once a year with the first, downy, silvery spring quince leaves. The tea has a golden colour and a full body with deep floral, herbal notes. A naturally caffeine-free alternative to ‘true’ teas.
