Grown in the southwestern region of Sri Lanka, Ruhuna Black Tea carries a robust fragrance of dried longan, coupled with a smooth, honey-like texture and woody undertones. Sipping it gently allows the rich fragrance to linger in the mouth.
Ruhuna is the tea region closest to the equator in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and is the lowest-altitude tea-producing area in the country. Influenced by intense sunlight and a humid tropical climate, tea leaves thrive here, exhibiting larger leaf sizes, resulting in a rich taste and a vibrant reddish hue.
Thanks to the unique roasting process of Ruhuna black tea, it boasts a distinctive aroma and flavor reminiscent of the subtle sweetness found in dried longan, coupled with a smoky undertone. This particular profile makes Ruhuna tea popular in Middle Eastern countries where a strong and robust taste is appreciated. Every sip of Ruhuna black tea invites you to explore the natural beauty of this tea-producing region.
The accelerated fermentation due to high temperatures contributes to the bold and deep taste of the brewed black tea, with a sweet aroma reminiscent of honey and caramel. It can be enjoyed on its own or paired with milk; trying it as a milk tea is highly recommended. Pairing it with some light pastries or fruits can create a delightful afternoon tea experience for friends.
