Ganlu Superior 2026
Transcending distinctions in all categories. The aroma is like fresh-cut grass with an alluring drizzle of red berries, opening the mind to further exploration. When merging with the creamy texture, the flavour evokes oatmeal or even shortcake dusted with raspberry powder. The sips feel refreshingly cool on the lips, while gently warming the body. This is a tea to inspire all the senses.
