Teamaker's Private Reserve Rilhena Estate Pekoe 1 Loose Leaf Black Tea

The Teamaker’s Private Reserve is an eclectic collection of rare, fine teas, each handpicked by Merrill J. Fernando, Founder of Dilmah, to represent the finest in tea.

The inky black, rolled Pekoe leaf, with a shotty appearance evolves into a coppery, dark infusion when infused. The mahogany colour and thick aroma suggest a full-bodied tea and indeed presents a surprisingly powerful, yet restrained tea with an earthy character that is typical of tea from the Ratnapura Region. This tea is rich in flavour with a touch of malt and hints of fig and stewed fruit.
