Ruhuna Black Tea 8CT ｜Box

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.
