Description

These small, compressed Ceylon tea cakes are a wonderfully convenient format for brewing a full-flavored black tea. Each cake is perfectly portioned for a medium-sized teapot, yielding a smooth cup with roasted honey notes and a clean finish. The golden-brown liquor is mellow enough to enjoy on its own and takes milk beautifully, making it an ideal everyday black tea in the classic Sri Lankan tradition.
