Description

Amba Estate is located in the hills of central Sri Lanka. Simon Bell and his partners have lovingly restored this old tea estate as an experiment to rejuvenate tea making in Sri Lanka. We recently visited Amba, which we consider a little gem. Amba Ceylon comes from a group of Sri Lankan men and women who make very interesting handmade teas. Your purchase and enthusiasm for Amba teas helps support their livelihood. We're proud to offer it and think you'll enjoy its citrus flavor and subtle floral notes. Great teas made responsibly for the local population. We buy a variety of tea from them.

Ingredients
Black tea, tea flowers.
