Ceylon Tea OP1 - Dimbula
-
Detail
A sweet, high-grade Ceylon tea with a chocolatey/caramel aftertaste.
This tea comes from the Dimbula estate. A wonderfully light tea, giving a bright, clean cup with a strong flavour. Ceylons are a wonderful mid-morning / lunchtime tea and this choice is light enough to have also as an afternoon drink. Great for concentration during the day. Ceylons don’t get any better than this … rock your world and get brewing.
