The brown-green tea leaves with small tips give rise to a golden coloured infusion, the aroma and taste of which are dominated by ripe, juicy peach.

Preparation guidelines: Use 12 g of tea (approx. 6 heaped tsp) per 1 l of water at the temperature of 85°C. Allow to infuse for 2-3 minutes, then strain. Suitable for 1-2 infusions.

Ambootia was set up in 1861, making it one of the first tea gardens to be founded by British colonisers. The green-brown leaves of the tea show a high content of silvery tips, which brew into an infusion with an intoxicating scent, reminiscent of flower honey. This sense of honey carries through to the taste, where it is enhanced by a wine-like tone.
