Origin:  Deniyaya, Southern Province (Ruhuna), Sri Lanka
Flavor:  citrus, carob

The "EXS" designates the grade of "extra special” and this tea certainly is.  It is rare to find a full leaf Ceylon with such tiny, wiry leaves and perfect silver tips.  While many teas from Sri Lanka are known for their medium body and bright flavor, this tea brews a surprisingly dark cup that is smooth with notes of carob and fruit.  It still has a bit of the familiar juicy, citrus quality but there is so much more going on.

Ingredients:
black tea
