Ceylon Serenity Green
Green tea, Sri Lanka

Flavour: fruity & vegetal – light-bodied
A hand-plucked and hand-rolled full-leaf green tea from Hidden Hills tea garden in Sri Lanka. These leaves infuse into a light-bodied tea with a mild, pleasant astringency and notes of citrus, stone fruit and aromatic herbs. July 2024 harvest. 

Hidden Hills is a small tea garden in the village of Thumodera, Seetawaka, Sri Lanka, run by Chula De Alwis. Its location and unique environment create the perfect conditions for growing tea naturally. The plants are fed by spring water and pest control is taken care of by local bird life. Forest borders the garden, which has views up to the lush Seetawaka mountain range and the Seetawaka wet zone botanical gardens are nearby.

This tea pairs beautifully with a firm or semi-firm cheese.

Preparation: Steep for 2 minutes at 85°. Three infusions. 

Infusions: specialty tea leaves can all be steeped at least twice, and often more, so each 3 gram serve (150 mls - a standard teacup size), will give you two cups ('infusions') if you steep the leaves twice. On the back of your pouch under 'Steep', you can find the number of infusions for your tea.

If you infuse your leaves at least twice, your pouch will give you the following cups of tea (or more if you infuse your leaves more times):

50 grams - 33 cups
100 grams - 66 cups
200 grams - 133 cups
