St. James Ceylon

A light bodied tea with slight astringency and a bright finish. The St. James estate produces classic high-grown Ceylon: a sparkling golden-amber cup, crisp and refreshing, with the clean edge that makes Sri Lankan teas the world's favourite all-day drinkers.

The gentle astringency here is a feature, not a flaw — it gives the cup its brightness and leaves the palate refreshed, making this a natural companion to food and afternoon conversation.

Brew one heaping teaspoon per cup with freshly boiled water for 3 to 4 minutes. Lovely plain or with lemon; a small splash of milk rounds it further if you prefer.
