This 200g pouch holds Classic, the house everyday black tea of Bogawantalawa. The company takes its name from the Bogawantalawa valley in Sri Lanka's central hills, where tea estates have been worked since 1869.
On the pack it is a high-grown special blend, made to be smooth and easy to drink cup after cup. The 200g size suits a household that drinks a pot or two a day. The pouch is kraft-coloured with a picture of tea fields and a red cup, and the maker describes its teas as climate positive.
