Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
The Kenilworth Estate is renowned for producing some of the finest whole-leaf teas in Sri Lanka. This premium bold-leaf lot steeps a hearty, full-bodied cup with a rich, toasty aroma that hints of spice and honey. A thick, satisfying mouthfeel enhances layers of cocoa, spice, and dried fruit sweetness in the dark russet-amber liquor. The brisk finish lingers on a bittersweet note. This exceptional-value tea is an ideal choice for enjoying with a splash of milk, if desired.
