Impra Wildberry Black Tea is a flavoured loose-leaf Ceylon black tea, sold as 200g of big leaf tea in a square metal caddy. Black tea makes up the bulk of the blend, and a smaller share of hibiscus, rosehip, raspberry pieces and blackberry leaves, with strawberry flavour, brings the berry character that gives it its name.
The tea itself is graded OPA, the long, open leaf that the caddy describes as big leaf tea. The pack sets out the proportions plainly: black tea OPA at 95%, with the hibiscus, rosehip, raspberry pieces, blackberry leaves and strawberry flavour together forming the remaining 5%. Impra describes it as a blend that pairs the taste of wild berries with the aroma and flavour of high grown Ceylon tea, from leaves grown on plantations in the hills of Sri Lanka.
Impra is the flagship brand of Imperial Tea Exports, a Sri Lankan tea company founded in 1994 whose factory stands on Biyagama Road in Kelaniya. The caddy carries the Ceylon Tea lion logo and notes that the tea is packed by an FSSC 22000 certified company.
The caddy is finished in deep berry red with gold lettering and a picture of raspberries, blackberries and blueberries on the front, and it arrives with a printed Impra seal band around the lid. Ingredient and label text is printed in English and in several other languages, including Estonian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Polish and Russian. The pack advises keeping the tea in a cool, dry place.
