Monkeytail Orange Pekoe - Black Tea

aromatic - floral - hand-rolled

Discover the bright, lively character of this hand-rolled Ceylon black tea from Sri Lanka. Grown at the 120-year-old Monkeytail Tea Estate in Gammaduwa Village, Matale District, this premium tea delivers a clean, refreshing cup with delicate floral aromas and a light, copper-colored liquor.

Monkeytail is one of the few artisanal tea estates in Sri Lanka, committed to sustainability, small-scale farming, and community well-being. Each leaf is hand-rolled to ensure even twisting and breaking, then oxidized in small 2kg batches for maximum control over flavor and quality. The result is a refined, aromatic black tea that is both full-bodied and nuanced, perfect for multiple infusions or a generous single brew.
