Black Teas

 

CEYLON ADAM’S PEAK

A black, high-mountain leaf tea from the Labookelie gardens in the Nurawa Eliya region. A delightful tea, dark but not overbearing, that evokes the sweep of the gardens that spread out under the peaks of the Samanalakande Mountains, “the mountains where butterflies go to die.” Perfect for afternoon tea parties, or as a late morning refresher.  It’s a full bodied Assam tea, but a bit lighter than our Ceylon Tiger River.  Pairs well with milk and sugar.

$4.25                  Loose Leaf $9.00 / 3.5 oz box

 

CEYLON TIGER RIVER

An excellent, fully aromatic leaf tea known as low-mountain tea from the Kandy region of the captivating island of Sri Lanka.  This Assam tea produces a rich infusion in the cup with a slightly sweet aftertaste, and is a bit darker than our Ceylon Adam’s Peak.  Pairs well with milk and sugar.
