Adawatte Estate Pekoe Loose Leaf Black Ceylon Tea with Bamboo Infuser
$20.00
ABOUT The most famous teas in the island come from high grown regions and harvested from August to September. This is a single estate tea from Adawatte estate, located in Sri Lanka’s famous ‘Uva high country’. The Uva region stretches 2,800-6,000 feet high in elevation.
