Our certified Organic Harrington Estate OP is a single-estate black tea that is full-bodied and brisk. It is rounded and smooth with comforting notes of wood and malt that leaves a creamy feeling in the mouth.
This is a wonderful mark of a mid-grown Ceylon tea and makes an excellent choice for a breakfast or afternoon tea.
Origin: Kotagala, Dimbula, Sri Lanka
Flavour profile: Full-bodied | Woodsy | Malt
Processing highlights: Whilst many Sri Lankan tea estates use machinery to pluck the tea leaves Harrington Estate still value the skilled workers who pluck the budset by hand. We believe this care and attention in processing the tea creates the finest qualities in taste and aroma.
