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.
