Silk Road Black Breakfast Loose Leaf Tea

Once recognized as a major tea-producing region during the Soviet era, the Republic of Georgia quietly faded from the global tea map following the fall of the USSR. Today, a new wave of passionate growers is reviving this storied legacy. We’re proud to source this organic black tea from a 100-acre estate nestled in the lush Imereti region—an estate dedicated to restoring the artistry of Georgian tea cultivation.

This premium loose-leaf tea features long, twisted leaves that yield a deep, amber liquor. On the palate, you’ll discover rich notes of molasses, orange blossom honey, and toasted almond—a harmonious balance of warmth and depth. Symphony of Leaves Tea Co. is delighted to share this rare and soulful expression of Georgia’s tea renaissance.
