Our Tea Selection

 Black Teas

  

Assam CTC - Organic

This fast-steeping Organic tea from the Assam region of India is known around the world for its full-bodied flavor that combines well with milk. This grade is found in a host of English and Irish morning blends. Think of it as comfort food! CTC stands for Cut-Tear-Curl, a process invented by the English when they established many of the gardens in India and Sri Lanka. The tea leaves are put through a Rotor vane machine which eviscerates the leaves. This makes a finished tea which is concentrated into tiny pellets. This ensures a fast steep and a bold cup of tea that is filled with tannins that love to bind with milk.

Ceylon – Lover’s Leap

Located in Sri Lanka's mountainous region of Nuwara Eliya, Lover's Leap Estate looks out into the clouds. Local lore says that the high and rocky cliff on the estate is where two lovers, a prince and a commoner, leaped to their deaths when they were forbidden to marry, hence the name Lover's Leap. The large, black twisted leaves from this garden brew into a light amber cup with a forest aroma and a smooth and mellow taste. Makes a great breakfast tea or an excellent hot beverage for your next afternoon tea.
