Crafted from Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe leaves with visible golden tips, this tea is harvested from Sri Lanka's low-grown estates where the warm, fertile conditions coax out a leaf with exceptional body and a natural vibrancy that sets it apart from the more restrained high-country grades.
The liquor pours a deep, burnished copper rich and full, with a brightness that catches the light. The aroma is bold and complex: a warm malt base threaded with a distinct floral lift from the golden tips, opening up as the cup cools. On the palate, it is brisk and full-bodied with a lively tannic edge, a natural sweetness mid-cup, and a long, resonant finish that stays with you well after the last sip.
Brew it strong for a morning cup that commands attention, or at moderate strength to let the floral nuance come forward. It takes milk beautifully the body is more than equal to it but served black, the golden character truly shines.
Perfect for:
* Mornings that call for something bold, warming, and deeply satisfying
* Classic milk tea elevated the golden tips add a floral complexity that standard breakfast teas lack
* Gifting in the generous 400g tin as a premium Battler Tea statement piece for serious tea lovers
* Hosting and entertaining a tea that looks as impressive in the caddy as it tastes in the c
