The taste of New Vithanakande is very "round" and satisfying—a wonderful tea for afternoon enjoyment. We love the look of the black leaf with a gold streak running through it.

Details:This tea is made in the low-altitude Ratnapura District, which mostly makes undistinguished teas. New Vithanakande is a wonderful exception. Elvira and Mike visited there in the spring of 2023.
Dry Leaves:Narrow, twisted, very dark brown leaf segments are about 1/3 of an inch long, with fine silver tips mixed in.
Liquor:Russet brown.
Aroma:This tea is a lovely blend of honey, unsweetened chocolate, and faint apricot notes.
Flavors:An intense blend of unsweetened chocolate tempered by honey sweetness and a bit of fruit.
Caffeine Level:Caffeinated
Body:Medium-bodied. New Vithanakande is a mouth-filling tea. A real treat.
