Pure Ceylon Black Tea - Single Origin Loose Leaf

frequently asked questions
-
Our Pure Ceylon Black Tea is celebrated for its well-balanced and invigorating profile. You can expect a medium to full body with classic notes of citrus and malt, followed by a clean, brisk finish. As a single-origin tea, its specific flavour can have subtle variations based on its estate, offering a more nuanced experience than a standard blended black tea.
-
For the best flavour, use one teaspoon of loose leaves per cup of freshly boiled water (at 95-100°C). Steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired strength. Using a teapot with an infuser or a reusable muslin filter allows the leaves to fully expand, releasing their complete aroma and complex flavours.

Loose leaf tea consists of whole or large fragments of tea leaves, which retain their essential oils and complex flavours. Most tea bags contain broken "fannings" or "dust," which brew quickly but result in a flatter, less nuanced cup. Choosing loose leaf provides a superior taste experience and is often a more sustainable, plastic-free choice.
