Description

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 evokes the wild essence of Sri Lanka's highland forests, where 40-foot-tall trees grow the tea! Big Ceylon leaves are tied around a vanilla bean, creating a delicious brew.

Ingredients
Black tea.
