“I’ve discovered a cache of old Davids Teas, some from as far back as 2015. Most of them are unflavoured, so they probably haven’t withstood the test of time particularly well. I can’t remember if I...” Read full tasting note

Description

Pot of gold

With its pretty golden tips and light, coppery infusion, this rich black tea is a true treasure. It comes from the New Vithanakanda garden in Sri Lanka, a third-generation tea estate overlooking the lush slopes of the Singharaja rain forest. And with its fertile soil, warm weather and 2400 foot altitude, it’s the perfect location for deliciously complex teas. Their specialty? Whole leaf teas with beautiful gold and silver tips. Hand-picked from specially selected bushes, this full-bodied black tea is the cream of the crop – and we rushed it to our shelves the moment it was ready so you could taste it fresh. Extremely limited edition…taste it while you can!
