RWANDA GISOVU SILVERBACK BLACK TEA

Gisovu tea is rich, bold and full of flavour, thanks to the high altitude of the growing slopes and the fertile soil the bushes grow in. Renowned for its fresh, crisp, almost tart finish this tea offers a very refreshing brew. It has a green apple aroma with flavour notes of caramel, currants, rose and hints of pepper. Tucked away at the far northern edge of Nyungwe National Park, the shimmering fields and winding pathways of the Gisovu Tea Estate sit right up against the primeval Nyungwe forest, where the meticulous rows of tea draw a sharp contrast with the wild forest greenery just behind them. The estate offers both day tours and accommodation, so after a tour of the grounds and cupping ceremony, those with time to spare can unwind there, mountain bike through the grounds, or simply soak up the serenity over never-ending cups of the Rwanda's finest tea.
