Colombian coffee is well known and regarded around the world but this unique tea is a perfect example of what can be achieved in terms of tea production in the mountainous regions of Colombia. <strong>This new &#8216;leafy&#8217; black tea is an improved version of the standard Bitaco Colombian Black we were offering before.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This tea is grown near the town of La Cumbre, situated high up in the West Andes. The altitude of the tea plantation is between 1,800 and 2,050 metres, making the growing conditions perfect for high grade tea. The prevalent weather, consistent rainfall, rich soil and mountainous slopes all combine to make a perfect but unique terroir. The area is also remote and surrounded by unspoilt natural terrain. This tea is grown at a plantation that is certified as organic under USDA, EU and Colombian regulations.<\/p>\n<p>Bitaco Tea Estate is run by Agricola Himalayas S.A. and they have extensive social responsibility programmes run in the area. These focus especially on education of children in the local area but also provide extensive support for other rural projects.<\/p>\n<p>This Bitaco Colombian Black tea is from the spring 2020 harvest. The neat dark leaves produce a medium strength amber liquor with a slightly malty aroma. This tea is superbly smooth and flavoursome. The character is sweet yet a little savoury with malty, stony and fruity notes. The fruity notes are reminiscent of pomegranate and mixed wild berries!<\/p>\n<p>We suggest brewing parameters of 90\u00b0C for 3-5 minutes according to your taste, brewing 2 or more times.<\/p>\n<p>This Bitaco Colombian Black tea was first featured in our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.curioustea.com\/september2016\/#bitacoblack\">September 2016<\/a> Curious Tea <a href=\"http:\/\/www.curioustea.com\/tea-subscription\/\">Subscription Boxes<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitaco Colombian Leafy Black is an intriguing black tea from a relatively unknown tea growing region: Colombia.
