The story and origin of the brand
The roots of the brand are connected with 2016/2017. The modern Manna facility emerged around 2016–2017 as part of the revival of Georgia’s tea industry. It processes Georgian-grown raw materials and offers black, green and flavoured teas, including blends with mint, thyme and bilberry leaf. This makes it more than a commercial name on a label: the brand represents a particular place, accumulated know-how and an effort to retain a recognisably Georgian character while meeting the expectations of today’s international customer.
When choosing a product, look beyond the brand name and consider the origin of the raw material, production method, sweetness, maturation and recommended serving temperature. These details help explain whether the experience will be light and refreshing, soft and fruit-led, or deep, spicy and structured. The Manna range therefore offers a practical way to compare different expressions of Georgian production while keeping their origin in view.
What makes the brand distinctive
Tea quality depends on the leaf, harvest timing, oxidation and careful drying. Western Georgia’s tea gardens experience humid Black Sea influence and colder winters than many Asian origins. Manna teas can consequently show gentle astringency, sweet woody and fruit tones, and a clean infusion that continues through the finish.

- Loose-leaf and bagged formats
- Suitable for daily drinking and comparative tasting
The range and how to choose
For food matching, compare intensity. Lighter, fresher products suit delicate dishes; fuller, sweeter or more mature expressions can accompany spice, grilled flavours and desserts. The Georgian tea category offers another useful way to refine the choice.
Serving and tasting
Use fresh water and adjust the dose to the leaf. Brew green tea cooler than black tea and begin with a shorter infusion. Where the leaf supports repeated infusions, extend the time gradually and observe how aroma, body and astringency change from one cup to the next.
Manna is a rewarding choice for anyone interested not only in a product category but also in the producer behind it. The range can accompany a Georgian-style feast, make an original present or form the basis of a small tasting at home. Sampling several products side by side reveals differences in aroma, intensity, texture and finish more clearly than tasting a single bottle in isolation.
Why discover the brand
There is no need to search for one universally best Manna product. A more useful approach is to choose for the occasion, personal taste and whether the product will accompany food, a quiet evening or a celebratory toast. This variety is precisely what makes the exploration of Georgian flavour so engaging.
