In the heart of Sri Lanka, perched at a majestic altitude of 4,229 feet, lies the exquisite Dimbulla Estate. From this haven emerges LT9's Signature Black Tea, a testament to the land's nurturing embrace. The pristine terroir, with its whispers of ancient traditions and gentle winds, lovingly endows the tea with an enchanting flavor. Each sip is a dance, a waltz of sumptuous dark cocoa notes, a journey of elegance and sweetness that beckons one to dream and reminisce.

CHARACTER

Ceylon tea embodies a versatile character. It's known for its briskness, which means it has a lively and invigorating quality. This briskness is often balanced with a certain degree of smoothness, making it suitable for a wide range of preferences.

appearance

Ceylon tea brews to a bright and clear amber or reddish-brown liquor.

brewing instructions

warm your teapot or cup

Swirl a small amount of boiling water in your teapot or cup to warm it, then discard the water. This helps to maintain the steeping temperature.

Measure the Tea Leaves

Use about 1-2 teaspoons of loose Ceylon black tea leaves for every 8 oz (240 ml) of water, adjusting to your preference for strength.

Heat Your Water

Bring fresh, filtered water to a full boil, which is 100°C (212°F). Black tea requires hot water to fully extract its flavors.

Steep Your Tea

Place the tea leaves into your teapot or a tea infuser, then pour the boiling water over them. Allow the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes depending on how strong you like your tea. A longer steep will produce a stronger, more robust cup.

Enjoy Your Tea

Once the tea has reached your desired strength, remove the tea leaves to prevent further brewing. Pour the tea into your cup and enjoy the rich and full-bodied flavor. We recommend enjoying the tea freshly brewed.
