The Spice Blend reflects a more adventurous side of Sri Lankan tea making. Alongside producing distinctive teas from wild and cultivated tea plants, Buddika Dissanayake has explored the use of locally available spices to create blends that express the character of the surrounding region.
The producer's wider approach includes sourcing wild spices carefully and encouraging local farmers to diversify their gardens with crops such as cinnamon, pepper, cardamom, and vanilla. These plants can provide additional income while making productive use of the landscape.
The result is a tea designed for those who enjoy aromatic, warming flavours. Depending on the precise blend, the spices may contribute sweet, woody, peppery, or gently pungent notes alongside the depth of the tea.
This is a lovely choice for a slow morning, a cool evening, or a moment when you want something more aromatic than a straightforward cup of black tea.
