Newby Heritage Ceylon Loose Leaf Black Tea, 100 gm Carton

In the late 19th century, when Sri Lanka was still named Ceylon, the cultivation of one of the most celebrated tea blends began. The product of a climate which sees two monsoon seasons sweep across the island, Ceylon tea is noted for its subtle aroma of citrus fruit. A distinctive black blend from the enchanting 'Land of the Lions'.

Tasting Notes

A bright, medium-amber cup with aromatic hints of lemon, a refreshing taste and a full, spicy finish.

The Heritage Collection

The Heritage Collection was inspired by Newby's mission to reacquaint the world with the culture and history of fine tea, hence its name.

The Heritage Collection not only makes the practice of enjoying quality loose leaf tea every day convenient and available to everybody, the range also provides a unique education on the aesthetics and decorative arts associated with tea culture through the ages. Each box features the story of the precious object pictured, as well as information on the luxury tea inside and how best to brew, serve and enjoy.
