Ceylon Gold
Superior quality 100% pure Ceylon Tea Natural Ingredients Free from artificial additives
Ceylon Gold is a rare golden tippy tea, crafted from young, unopened tea buds hand-picked at their most tender. Each bud is coated in fine golden down, giving thin, wiry FBOPF Extra Special leaf that shimmers gold before it ever meets the water.
In the cup it glows golden amber with a rich, honeyed aroma. The flavour is exceptional: smooth caramel sweetness, a gentle briskness and a long, lingering finish. No wonder it was crowned Best of All Black Teas at The Leafies 2024 and 2025.
Young buds are naturally rich in polyphenols, the plant compounds tea is celebrated for, with a gentle lift of natural caffeine. A little everyday luxury for true Ceylon tea lovers.
How to brew Ceylon Gold
Crafted from fine, tippy FBOPF Extra Special leaf — largely golden buds — grown in the hills of Kandy, the heartland of Ceylon tea, Ceylon Gold brews into a glowing golden-amber cup that is aromatic and honeyed. Water just off the boil and a patient 3 to 5 minutes bring out its best.
Rich yet refined, lifted by the golden tips that give this tea its name — a premium bud-led cup for moments worth savouring. Steep 3 minutes for a bright, delicate cup, or up to 5 for more depth and honeyed sweetness. Savour it plain to enjoy its golden character, or with a little honey or sugar. If you prefer milk, steep the full 5 minutes before adding it.

Where It's Grown
Kandy is where Ceylon tea began: in 1867 James Taylor planted the island's first commercial tea fields at Loolecondera, near the old royal capital. At mid-elevations of 600 to 1,200 metres, the milder climate encourages generous leaf growth, giving teas of real depth with a warm, coppery glow and a satisfying, rounded strength.
Our Ceylon Gold (FBOPF EX SP grade) brings this character to the cup: honeyed, aromatic and refined.
Rain from the southwest monsoon between May and September keeps Kandy's hills green and productive. The drier, brighter weather of January to April brings the season's finest teas, with extra clarity and character in the cup.
