🌱 Terroir & Cultivation📍 Teamo Black Tea is cultivated in the highland terroir of Chiatura, in western Georgia’s Imereti region. The plantations are situated on mineral-rich soils at mid-mountain elevation, benefiting from a cool mountain microclimate, clean air, and balanced rainfall. These conditions slow leaf growth, contributing to higher aromatic complexity and reduced astringency. 🌱 Tea bushes are managed using sustainable, organic farming practices, without synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides.

✋ Harvesting Method is hand-plucked, plucking Standard: One bud and one to two young leaves; Season: Late spring to summer. Careful manual harvesting ensures uniformity of leaf material and preserves delicate cellular structures essential for high-quality oxidation.

⚙️ Processing Method: Teamo Black Tea is produced using a refined orthodox processing technique adapted to Georgian tea traditions: 🍃 Withering: Fresh leaves are gently withered to reduce moisture and increase pliabilit 🌀 Rolling / Twisting: Leaves are hand-rolled and mechanically twisted to rupture cell walls and promote enzymatic oxidation while maintaining integrity 🟤 Oxidation: Controlled oxidation develops color, aroma, and flavor complexity 🔥 Drying: Low-temperature drying halts oxidation and preserves aromatic compounds

📦 Sorting & Packaging: Leaves are carefully sorted and packed for consistency and freshness, also modern equipment is used selectively to enhance precision while preserving artisanal character.

⚗️ Chemical Composition: Teamo Black Tea features a balanced biochemical profile shaped by highland terroir and orthodox processing:

• 🧪 Polyphenols: ~20–30% of dry weight (oxidized catechins → theaflavins & thearubigins) → clear amber color, body, low bitterness

• 🌰 Tannins: Moderate–low → smooth mouthfeel, minimal astringency

• 🧠 Amino Acids: ~2–4% (including L-theanine) → mild sweetness, calmness, mental clarity

• ⚡ Caffeine: ~2.5–4.0% → gradual release, balanced stimulation
