Premium Ceylon Loose Black Tea — Over 30 Years Old (Camellia sinensis)

Experience a Ceylon black tea with more than three decades of history. Originating in Sri Lanka, this aged loose tea offers something unusual for tea enthusiasts: the opportunity to enjoy a selection whose story reaches back over 30 years.

Its remarkable age and Ceylon heritage make it a distinctive premium offering for those who appreciate tea with provenance and character. Whether chosen for your personal collection, shared with a fellow tea lover, or enjoyed during a quiet afternoon, it invites you to slow down and give each cup your attention.

At GARDENS OF THE ANCIENTS®, every portion is weighed and packed by hand in Austin, Texas. Enjoy it plain to explore its individual aroma and character, or prepare it traditionally with milk or a touch of honey.
