Orange and Cinnamon from the Golden Giant range by Battler is a Ceylon black tea blended with orange and cinnamon, packed as 100 g of loose leaf in a tin caddy with the leaf sealed in foil.
The black tea is a well-twisted big leaf that brews to an orange-red liquor. The orange adds a sharp, zesty citrus aroma, and the cinnamon a warm, sweet spice, so the cup is fragrant without being heavy. Our listing also notes marigold flowers in the blend.
