BLACK TEA: Jayachakra Handspun, Sri Lanka

Jayachakra Handspun
Black tea, Sri Lanka

Flavour: malt, floral, milky ~ light- bodied

Harvested on 22 September 2025, this incredible, handspun tea is cleverly crafted out of two leaves and bud, hand twisted into the shape of a ring (‘Jayachakra’ means ‘ring’).

When infused, the tea rings produce a light, smooth and mellow tea with notes of sweet malt, flowers, almond milk and hint of orange.

Lumbini is a Sri Lankan family-run tea company. Their gardens lie in the Lumbini Tea Valley, located high in the hills in Southern Sri Lanka, surrounded by 25,000 hectares of virgin rainforest. Lumbini’s focus on sustainable tea practices and artisan craftmanship means it produces some of the countries most exceptional teas.

Preparation: Steep for 3 minutes at 100°. Two infusions. If adding milk, use a steep time of 3 - 4 minutes.

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
