Overview
Best pick • solid oolong choice from Sri Lanka
Pairing: stone fruit, roast chicken, or buttery pastries

A delightful tea crafted by workers meticulously hand twisting and tying tea leaves together to form a 'blue nettle'. The leaves within the 'blue nettle' show varying levels of oxidisation and as a result the tea exhibits characteristics typical to white, oolong and black teas! It has the lightness usually associated with white teas combined with very gentle apricot tones usually found within Indian subcontinent oolongs and a malty (yet gentle) finish to typical to black teas. Sourced direct from Idulgashinna Tea Estate, a high elevation tea estate with international organic certification. Tasting Notes:- Smooth and light- Subtle apricot tones with a delicate malt finish Harvest: Summer 2024 Altitude: 1,800mOrigin: Idulgashinna Tea Estate, Haputale Region, Uva Province, Sri LankaSourced: Direct from the farmerPercentage of price going back to the farmer: 20%+ Brewing Advice:- Heat water to roughly 85°C/185°F- Use 2-3 'Blue Nettles' per cup/small teapot- Brew for 2-3 minutes Packaging: Resealable ziplock bag
