REVIEW
Brewed
- This tea brews to be a brownish shade, the light just dances through it.
Scent
- The earthiness of this tea opens up to bloom like a flower, you get a slight fragrance of floral surrounded by a woodsy earthiness.
Flavor
- Ceylon Gold is reminiscent of a stronger oolong to me, it’s flavor gives you that divine mix of woodsy and milky with a touch of floral.
Sentiments
- One of my favorite teas (see the comparison of (Ceylon Gold vs Ceylon Ivory). I love that one tea, one bush can taste to different. The reason is varied by location, timing, processing, brewing and more. This tea is delightful and will get your senses excited.

What Teakruthi Tea Say About Their Tea
This tea is a special type of ‘Gold Tips’ White Tea and has undergone a very special, careful process to give it its fine, splendid flavour.Ceylon Gold harvested from a young tea bush before the buds have opened. From there, the buds are dried in natural sunlight, allowing the tips to maintain their velvety golden colour. Since the young buds are so delicate, they are handled with the utmost care. This tea is from an estate in Hatton in Nuwara Eliya. It is western high grown and displays a brownish gold colour in the cup. This fine tea boasts a light, fine, tart flavour that we can only attribute to the time and care dedicated to harvesting and processing this tea..
