Amba Ceylon

$55 ~~$110~~ In stock

Amba Estate sits in the hills of central Sri Lanka, an old tea garden that Simon Bell and his partners have restored as an experiment in rejuvenating Sri Lankan tea making. We visited Amba and came away convinced it's a little gem. The estate is worked by a group of Sri Lankan men and women who make genuinely unusual teas by hand, hand-rolling the leaves in a way that yields a lighter, big-leaf cup. That handwork carries a mission, too: Amba is committed to empowering women in the tea industry, and your purchase helps support the livelihoods of the people who craft it. We buy a variety of teas from them, and we're proud to offer this one, made responsibly and with real care for the local community.

The leaves unfurl into these big, intact pieces when you steep them, and the second cup from the same leaves still tastes sweet rather than bitter. You can tell it came from an old garden that's being cared for properly.

The whole leaf tea is a completely different experience from the dusty tea bags I'm used to; you can actually watch the leaves unfurl in the pot. It brews a bright, clean cup that's smooth enough to drink without any milk or sugar.

Steeping these whole leaf teas, you can taste the difference that careful cultivation makes — the liquor is smooth with none of the bitterness I get from supermarket bags. Knowing it comes from an old tea garden that was deliberately restored rather than just farmed makes each cup feel a little more
