Description

The classic full-leaf Sri Lankan tea. The T2 version uses attractive, long twisted leaves that produce a medium-bodied, bright copper infusion. With hints of sugar cane and sweet sultanas, a light touch of tannins provides a clean, brisk finish. A versatile staple that’s perfect for all-day drinking with or without milk.

Ingredients: Ceylon black tea

Brewing Guide: 1 tsp per cup, 2-4 min, 100C (212F)
