This cup is a slice of life. Medium-bodied with a visceral texture, the cup delivers flavors of apples and fresh shrubbery with just enough astringency to keep everything bright and spritely. Grains and unripe bananas in the finish. A truly Ceylon tea.

It’s a two leaf and a bud pick of both cultivar and seedling plants growing at 5,200 feet. Ingredients: black tea Steeping Instructions 3 grams | 10-12 oz water | 212°F | Steep 3 min.
