NEW  VITHANAKANDA  TEA
SFTGFOP-1
 
 
We just received this in the other day.  It has a wirey extra long and tippy leaf style.  Has a honey like taste to it.  Makes a really nice cuppa premium loose leaf tea.
With exceptional leaf quality and tips in full view, this superb Sri Lankan black tea has a bouquet like no other. Add to this a complex body and sweet ending and you have, perhaps, the finest Sri Lanka has ever produced. A treasure. For the best glass of iced tea you have ever tasted - brilliant.
It is Special Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe.



ORGANIC SPARROW TONGUE YELLOW TEA



This elegant yellow tea is made of needle-like dark and light leaves that steep a smooth, delicate cup with no astringency. 
These delicate sets of a bud and a single leaf are carefully processed to give a pale yellow liquor. This is achieved by stretching out the drying process by drying the tea in muslin sacks rather than on an open drying table. The aroma of our organic Sparrow Tongue Yellow Tea reminds of a delicate Dragonwell, however much more floral. The flavor is rather floral, as well, with little astringency.
Because of the infusion’s yellow color, this tea is often referred to in China as a “yellow tea,” however we’ve categorized it as a green tea due to its similar manufacturing process (particularly its lack of oxidation). The leaf separates from the bud when brewed, forming a forked sparrow’s tongue – thus the name.
It is organic.



CASTLETON  ESTATE  DARJEELING  TEA
FTGFOP-1
 

A good first flush tea at a moderate price. A wonderful muscatel highlights with delicate strength - the hallmark of a premium flush Darjeeling. Tends light liquoring with subtle astringency and classic muscatel character.  Definitely a luxury black Indian tea.
It is of the Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe. 
 
 
HARMUTTY  ESTATE  ASSAM  TEA
STGFOP-S
 
 
 
A top estate tea with carefully harvested leaves and lots of golden tips throughout. A strong, spicy liquor with lots of body. Wonderful breakfast tea with a touch of milk.
An excellent sweet and rich Assam.
A Special Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe.
