Ceylon OP Adam's Peak Blend

This blend of Ceylon teas comes from estates in the highlands around Adam's Peak, the sacred mountain in Sri Lanka's central hill country. The leaves are selected as Orange Pekoe: long, slender, open leaves that unfurl slowly in the pot. The result is a bright, golden red cup that tastes fresh and lively, with notes of citrus and honey and a clean, invigorating finish.

Brewing advice: 2.5 to 3 g per 250 ml, water at 95 °C, steep for 3 to 4 minutes. The long leaf needs a little time: at around 4 minutes the aroma is at its best.

Plain, it is wonderfully refreshing; with a splash of milk it turns round and full; served over ice it is a true thirst quencher. A versatile black tea for every moment of the day, from breakfast to afternoon.
