REVIEW
Brewed
- Full bodied, deeper brew with a reddish brown hue.
Scent
- The color may be red but the scent is deep woodsy and with a subtle bark scent. Earthy close to the ground. You can smell it.
Flavor
- This tea is strong, stronger then most teas of it’s variety. It’s always surprising when brewing a tea and opening up it’s flavor like a fresh flower budding.
Sentiments
- This tea will remind you of a Peoke and that is because it is exactly that however this tea is limited and special, not mass produced. It’s another morning brew special, however I work midnights so this tea is a special to keep me going all night long. A little goes a longer way with this tea and if you want it deeper and darker just add more tea and you will get a wide eyed, open mouths ahhhhh…. no doubt.
INGREDIENTS
- Pure Ceylon
Black tea

What Teakruthi Tea Say About Their Tea
This low grown full-bodied blend was hand-plucked from the shade of the Sinharaja Rainforest in Sri Lanka. Made from the highest quality leaves, Rainforest Indulgence offers a unique flavour. Rather than hand-rolling to bruise the leaf and introduce oxidation, this tea was produced by a modern mechanical process that instead tears the leaf. Only limited amounts of Broken Pekoe (BP) grade Ceylon tea is produced, so this tea is truly a special morning treat. This strong tea is reddish orange in colour.
