Rwanda Gisovu Silverback Black Tea

Gisovu tea is a richly layered black tea that captures the essence of Rwanda's high-altitude terroir. Grown on the fertile slopes at the edge of Nyungwe National Park, each cup delivers a bold, refreshing brew with a crisp, almost tart finish that awakens the palate.

On the nose, you'll discover green apple and delicate floral notes. The flavour unfolds with layers of caramel sweetness, currants, rose petals, and a subtle peppery warmth that lingers beautifully. This is tea with character—complex enough to intrigue with every sip, yet approachable and deeply satisfying.

The Gisovu Estate itself is a place of genuine distinction, nestled between cultivated tea fields and the primeval Nyungwe forest. The contrast is striking: meticulous rows of tea bushes give way to wild forest greenery, a landscape that speaks to both craftsmanship and nature in balance. If you're keen to explore further, the estate welcomes visitors for cupping ceremonies, estate tours, mountain biking, or simply an afternoon of quiet contemplation with a pot of Rwanda's finest.
