The Story Behind the Name:

The naming of this tea has a story behind it. I named this artisanal first flush black tea "Francesca’s Quiet Afternoon" while tasting the batch at the Puttabong bungalow. The profile immediately evoked the quiet, unhurried countryside afternoons and the character Francesca from a book I read long ago. The flavor of the cup provided a flash of that imaginary, picturesque landscape—a countryside cottagecore house during a spring afternoon. No rush, no noise, no hurry; just the pure relaxation of a good cup of tea. During the manufacturing process, my intention was to capture that exact essence: a sense of meadow-like solace and stillness.
