Don’t be fooled by the small leaf size, this one soars! Full-bodied, yet light at heart, the character is fresh and zesty with a wildflower finish. A high mountain elixir that cleanses the soul.
This peak season BOP leaf grade tea was harvested and produced February 27-March 3, 2026 by Lalith Premalal at the Pedro Estate in the Nuwaraeliya region of Sri Lanka.
