Uva tea, recognized worldwide, became famous when Sir Thomas Lipton used it to introduce tea-drinking to America. Known for its smooth, mellow taste, it stands out with its blackened leaves. During the July–September quality season, the kacchan winds and temperature shifts enhance the tea's aroma and flavor. The manufacturing process is shortened to highlight its pungent, mentholated character, making it distinct from teas produced at other times. (Served with freshly baked shortbread cookies)
