A Timeless Morning Indulgence Steeped in Heritage

From the coastal plains and misty hillsides of Sri Lanka comes a premium black tea designed to take you to another world. When you take your first sip, this beautifully comforting blend allows you to melt into a calm, peaceful place where everything is suddenly right in the world. It has become a cherished daily ritual across cultures because it is deeply adaptable and timeless.

This masterfully balanced blend relies on pure geographic synergy. The full-flavoured teas from the Ruhuna region add rich depth and body, while the mid-grown estates of Kandy provide the crucial smoothness. Hand-selected for premium quality, it delivers an exquisite aroma, excellent colour, and an inviting smell from the moment it hits your cup.

A Sensual Experience For Discerning Tea Lovers

This is a delicate but still full-bodied black tea that truly honors the way mornings were meant to begin. Close your eyes, breathe in the rich aroma, and enjoy a wonderfully satisfying taste like no other. Packaged beautifully to preserve freshness, it stands as a premium choice to upgrade your pantry or share as a thoughtful gift with loved ones.


The TEA Sommelier Brew Guide

Treat this blend as a professional tea sommelier would. Use only freshly boiled water to awaken the leaves at their fullest, and ensure your teapot, cup, and infuser are impeccably clean so only the tea speaks.

Classic Hot Brew Ritual
  1. Add 1½ teaspoons of loose leaf tea per 230ml cup into your infuser.
  2. Heat fresh water to 99°C and pour over the leaves.
  3. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes to fully release the robust, malty character.
  4. Strain into your favorite cup and enjoy with or without milk.
Invigorating Iced Tea Ritual
  1. Add 3 teaspoons of loose leaf tea per 150ml cup to ensure a bold base.
  2. Bring your water temperature to 99°C.
  3. Steep the leaves deeply for 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Strain the concentrated liquid and pour directly over fresh ice to lock in the brisk flavours.
