Ceylon Gunpowder Green Tea

Our Ceylon Gunpowder Green Tea is of exceptionally good quality. Grown and prepared on one of the top tea producing estates in Sri Lanka. The tightness of these green tea pellets produces an excellent flavour. Limited quantities of this tea are produced because the process in which the tea leaves are tightly rolled takes a lot of time and skill. As a high grown tea, the flavour and full bodied achieved with this tea is superb.
