Wild Grusinien OP

Introducing an award winning tea, Wild Grusinia OP. It was decorated with the Origin Award at the 2025 Global Tea Championship of the World Tea Expo in Las Vegas! Teas from Georgia (in Russian: Grusinia) boast a long tradition and were very hard to find and very rare. Tea has been cultivated and produced in Georgia ever since the middle of the 18th century. Chinese tea shrubs form the basis of Georgian tea cultivation. This quality comes from wild growing shrubs. The leaf structure is matte black, long and wiry and presents some tips, and develops a sweet, bready scent in the infusion with a bronze cup color emanating a full-bodied, spicy, fruity brew.

Recommendation:

If serving this tea iced, consider using an extra 1 1/2 teaspoon of tea for every 6 – 8 ounces of water to provide more flavor. Melting ice will dilute the blend. You can also cold steep to maximize the flavor by filling a pitcher with the tepid water. Add the suggested amount of tea leaves either in a tea bag or an infuser and put the pitcher into the refrigerator for approximately 1 1/2 hours. Taste the tea and if it’s to your liking, remove the tea leaves and serve.
