A cup of unspoken glory that only high altitude can bring. The liquor floats on a bubbly grapefruit-like sweetness, but lands on the freshness that only young garden greens possess. The high-floral qualities on the exhale let you know you’ve made it to the top.

This FBOP leaf grade tea was harvested and produced January 25 through February 10, 2025 by Lalith Premalal at the Lover’s Leap Estate in the Nuwaraeliya region of Sri Lanka. It’s a two leaf and a bud pick of both original seedling and cultivated plants growing at 6,100 feet! Lalith Premalal has been the estate manager at the Pedro/Lover’s Leap Estate for decades and is regarded as one of the best tea makers in Sri Lanka.
