Any tea from our friend Lochana in Sri Lanka is bound to be interesting, and this tea is no exception. A few months ago, he told me he was experimenting with roasting a highly oxidized tea over coconut shells... this tea is the result. Fruity and sweet like honey, this tea also has that Ceylon maltiness that many people around the world have come to enjoy. If you're a fan of small batch, rustic teas, this one's for you.
