Ceylon Seafarer | Black Tea

These large, unbroken leaves are the antidote to weeks at sea. The lighter body is accommodating, but that snappy Ceylon texture stays stout. The under-ripened fruit and pipe tobacco character deliver a bright and sunny cup to get your senses on solid ground. This OPA leaf grade was produced July 2024 by Mr. Asanga Maveekumbura at the Lumbini Tea Valley Estate in the Ruhuna region of Sri Lanka. It’s a one bud, two leaf pick of the TRI2026 cultivar growing at 1,400 feet. This tea was formerly called Lumbini Large Leaf OPA.
