Established in the late nineteenth century, the Lover’s Leap Estate perches among the clouds, at 6,000 feet, in the mountainous Nuwara Eliya district of Sri Lanka. This black tea selection offers a bright, citrusy aroma, complemented by warm biscuity nuances. The lively cup is a lovely balance of honey sweetness and high-grown briskness, with notes of dried fruit and a light toastiness. The finish lingers with a whisper of spice. Steep longer when adding a splash of milk.
