Artisanal Ceylon Argent

On one of our trips to Sri Lanka, our friend Buddika made this tea at his small factory in Ratnapura. Buddika, who was born and raised in Kandy, Sri Lanka, began his career as a trainee tea planter for 17 years before deciding to transition into his own project of producing artisanal teas. Skilled tea artisans carefully pluck and process these leaves. The tea's rich character lingers on the palate, evoking the wild essence of Sri Lanka's highland forests, where 40-foot-tall trees grow the tea! It has a bit more complex aroma than our Ceylon Silver Tips and is very sweet.
