Parade White Elephant is a Pekoe grade Ceylon black tea from the Parade Elephant range of Battler. Pekoe is a well-rolled, medium leaf, and it brews a smooth, medium-bodied cup with a rich amber liquor.
This is the loose leaf carton: 100g of tea sealed in an aluminium foil pouch inside the box, so it stays fresh until opened. The same tea is also sold in a 100g tin caddy.
