HOT ! Sri Lankan Green Tea Cigars

About This Tea

Sri Lankan Green Tea Cigars are a stunning example of tea artistry and craftsmanship. Sourced from the lush highlands of Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon), these unique tea cigars are meticulously hand-rolled by skilled artisans who transform premium green tea leaves into elegant, cigar-shaped bundles that unfurl beautifully when steeped.

Each tea cigar is crafted from ethically grown, single-origin green tea leaves that are carefully selected for their size, quality, and flavor. The rolling process is a labor of love—requiring patience, precision, and generations of traditional knowledge. When placed in hot water, the tightly bound leaves slowly open like a blooming flower, releasing their delicate aroma and vibrant flavor. This is tea as performance art—a visual and sensory experience that transforms your tea ritual into something truly extraordinary.

Brewing Guide

• 
  Water Temperature: 175–185°F (80–85°C)


• 
  Tea Amount: 1 tea cigar per 12–16 oz of water (or teapot)


• 
  Steeping Time: 3–5 minutes for first infusion


• 
  Infusions: Can be steeped 3–4 times, increasing steeping time by 1 minute with each infusion
