      Ceylon Black Pekoe

      •  

      Another gem from the family owned/operated Lumbini Estate located in Sri Lanka’s southern Ruhuna district where tea grows at elevations up to 2,000 feet above sea level. Whole leaf & bud is broken, rolled, then finished to produce a unique combination of flavor & aroma reminiscent of citrus with a hint of caramel.

      Ingredients:
      Ceylon Black Tea

      Steeping Instructions

      1. Fill kettle with fresh water, then heat.

      2. Warm your teapot with a little hot water, discard, place your tea leaves in teapot, allowing heat of the pot to release bouquet of the tea leaves.

      3. Heat water to rolling boil (212°). Steep 1 teaspoon (2.5 g/8 oz. cup) up to 5 minutes.

      *Vary time according to taste, & remember that steeping tea leaves beyond 5 mins does not contribute to flavor, only bitterness
