This award-winning tea from Sri Lanka yields a rich, yet mellow cup. Notice how tippy the leaf appears. The Lumbini Tea Garden is a family-owned tea garden located in the rain forests of the Southern Ruhuna District of Sri Lanka.

This tea is part of the class ADV.01 but is also available on their website as Ceylon Gold. This is a FBOPFEXS grade. Meaning it was time-consuming to create and will be more expensive than your typical black tea. This is the type you will never find in a bag. My first cupping was done officially, 5 Min, 20fF, and 3g. The dry leaf I find to be interestingly sweet with sugared wood notes. Maple. And vinsanto! The wet leaf is also sweet but a bit more cherrywood. When infused this way it reveals a very drying sensation. To the point that you feel the need to drink water. It is astringent as well but that is to be expected. The sweetness tapers off quite a bit and lends itself to the woody, resin, and lacquer flavors. As it cools rosewood flavors develop. In fact, I would say I enjoy this one more when it is cool. When in infused in my personal way the woodiness comes out stronger with less resin and lacquer. A strange note of raspberry just note as well. Maybe I’m overthinking that. ^^; This is a good black tea but to be honest it’s not going on my list of “I need this on my shelf.”
