This full-leaf black tea by Glenwood is an ode to the Ceylon tea of yesteryear; that saw little machinery and plenty of human touch as used in crafting this exceptional, and what is in the present day – a most uncanny Ceylon tea. It is made using only the tender buds and the top leaf in a short growth cycle.
This meticulously crafted tea can be classified as a medium-grown Ceylon tea grown in the central highlands of Sri Lanka reaching a median altitude of 1000m in a cool and rich climate before it was artfully hand-plucked. The abundance of beautiful, unbroken golden tips is the most commendable feature about this Ceylon tea, which adds undeniable flavors of malt and cocoa. The malty aroma with the authentic taste of Ceylon will be an ideal kickstarter every morning right through the afternoon hours for a mid-day boost. This tea produces a well-balanced cup with the right amount of astringency and depth in taste, with little to no bitterness found.
It is best had on its own and without any sweetening due to the tea’s natural sweetness and smooth finish, however, with a strong brew, this tea will perform well even with a dash of milk.
