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 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.
Beautiful breakfast tea.
I have grown to really love this tea. It has a very nice rich flavour that leaves you wanting just one more cup. Highly recommend if you like breakfast teas.
