Elevate Your Palate with African Terroir

Discover the hidden gem of the Rwandan highlands. Grown in the prestigious Rukeri Garden at altitudes between 1,500 and 2,000 meters, this exceptional black tea thrives in rich, volcanic soil. It is a bold, sophisticated cup that captures the wild energy of the “Land of a Thousand Hills.”

What makes it unique:

Distinctive Character: Admire its beautiful coppery liquor and enjoy a robust flavor profile with deep, pronounced notes.

High-Altitude Purity: The extreme altitude ensures a slow growth of the leaves, concentrating the aromas for a more refined and intense experience.

Orange Pekoe (OP) Quality: Features long, wiry leaves that deliver a perfect balance between strength and elegance.

The “GreenHouse” Gourmet Tip:

A Match Made in Heaven: The spicy, bold undertones of the Rwanda Rukeri pair incredibly well with our Premium Bourbon Vanilla. Add a small piece of a vanilla pod while steeping to create a luxurious, creamy African blend that you won’t find anywhere else in Sliema.
