A specialty green tea, crafted by hand
Designer Tea starts as one of our handmade green teas. The leaves are perfectly handcrafted and sun-dried in small batches, then given a mild lavender flavour that sits softly over the fresh green leaf.
Tasting notes
A mild, fragrant cup with lavender on the nose, a smooth lilac appearance and a honey-like sweetness. Like all green teas, it's naturally high in antioxidants and lower in caffeine than black tea, which makes it a good choice for the evening.
A thoughtful gift
Designer Tea comes in our signature tin and in loose-leaf pouches in several sizes. Its colour and fragrance make it a lovely gift for anyone who enjoys floral teas.
Grown and handmade in our own garden
Every leaf comes from our own 20-acre (8 hectare) tea garden in Menikdiwela, in the Kandy District of Sri Lanka's Central Province, just below the Alagalla mountain range. Nothing is bought in or blended with other estates — it's single-origin Ceylon tea, from our tea field to your tea cup.
