Gold Elephant is a Ceylon black tea from the Ceylon Elephant range of Battler, and this pack puts it in tea bags: 25 bags of 2 g each, 50g in all, in a paper canister.
The maker describes the blend as bold and aromatic, with golden tips and a brisk character. Each bag is individually wrapped and foil-sealed, so the last bag in the canister is as fresh as the first. The canister is a sturdy, good-looking pack for the kitchen or office.
In the pack

Tasting notes
Brisk and full, with a rich, smooth body and a bright colour. Strong enough to take milk without losing its taste.
How to brew
- Use one tea bag per cup.
- Pour on freshly boiled water.
- Steep for 3 to 5 minutes, then lift out the bag.
Serving ideas
Enjoy it plain, with milk, or lightly sweetened. One bag makes a good mug for the morning; for a lighter cup, take the bag out after 3 minutes.
