Category: Black Tea

In the late 19th century, when Sri Lanka was still named Ceylon, the cultivation of one of the most celebrated tea blends began. The product of a climate which sees two monsoon seasons sweep across the island, Ceylon tea is noted for its subtle aroma of citrus fruit. A distinctive black blend from the enchanting ‘Land of the Lions’.

Every blend in the Heritage Collection honours the origins of the world’s finest tea.

Ella A. ★★★★★

Brewed a pot this morning and the leaves unfurl beautifully, giving a deep, malty cup that holds up to a second steep without turning bitter. It's my new afternoon ritual, plain and simple.

Claire F. ★★★★★

The loose leaf unfurls beautifully in the pot, and the second steep is just as rich as the first, which I wasn't expecting from a black tea. It's got that deep, malty warmth that makes a rainy afternoon feel like a proper ritual.

Charlotte ★★★★★

The two-monsoon climate really comes through in the cup—it's got that depth you don't find in everyday black tea, and the leaves brew up a deep amber with a smooth, non-bitter finish. I've been making it my afternoon ritual for two weeks now and it hasn't disappointed once.
