A special selection of darker leaves. Full, spicy, balanced taste harmonises with an aromatic, strongly scented bouquet. Located in the famous Malwatta Valley in the Uva region Saint James Estate produces teas of prime quality on a plantation of about 300 hectares in size. The bright red-golden cup is generally somewhat darker than the UVA highland qualities which grow at high altitudes. A firm favourite amongst those who like a tea full of depth. This is the estate manager's preferred breakfast drink.

This was a surprise, one I should have sampled first, before buying 500 gms! Very strong, so packs a real flavour punch and saves you money at the same time. But also very high in tannin, so must NOT be left to brew for more than five minutes, lest it becomes positively medicinal (Tea Tree/Dettol comes to mind). Treated properly, a good, flavoursome, energising start to the day.
It is just for us the Dubliners Breakfast is such a nutty winner. This is good though …. just not quite my “cup of tea"
Full bodied and rounded.
This tea is delicious. I tried a different Ceylon when it was out of stock but went right back to this one when it was restocked.It's a strong brew so I would say to go easy until you know it better-it tends to get a little bitter if you use too much but get it right and it's a great,refreshing brew
Really nice tea. Good on its own or I blend it with Assam and Darjeeling too.
