Akbar Kandy Special – 200g Premium Ceylon Loose Leaf Black Tea

Discover Historic Strength with Mid-Grown Ceylon Black Tea Bold. Distinctive. Steeped in Tradition. Akbar Kandy Special captures the time-honoured flavour of Sri Lanka’s very first tea-growing district. Handpicked from carefully selected estates, these mid grown ceylon black tea leaves yield a robust cup with a deep amber hue and a brisk, lively taste. If you love an authentic, historical brew with exceptional character, this loose leaf format provides an unmatched standard for your daily drinking ritual. The combination of Kandy’s unique elevation and drier highland air allows the leaves to develop a signature strength and signature smoothness. Consequently, this ideal climate makes the blend a perfect choice for those who prefer a hearty, satisfying brew to power through their day. Because we care about protecting the bold character of our orthodox crops, we package this selection securely at the source. As a result, this careful handling preserves the natural depth and warmth that define classic, historic valley crops over long-term storage. Furthermore, exploring single-origin agricultural regions connects you directly to the finest traditions of Sri Lankan leaf grading. For instance, the historic terroir allows the bushes to produce a dark, full-bodied leaf that releases a highly aromatic infusion.
