Ceylon Handmade Black Tea – 40g

Tasting Notes & Distinctive Features:

Knuckles Valley’s Ceylon Golden Tips is a rare and mystical tea, cultivated with reverence from the exceptional Purple Camellia Sinensis plants. Hand-picked in minimal quantities, the delicate buds are sun-dried under Sri Lanka’s golden skies, absorbing light and warmth into their velvety gold tips. The result is a stunning tea with a fragrant orchard profile—fresh notes of raisin and apricot unfolding with every sip, like the memory of late summer drifting across the palate. This is liquid gold in its truest sense—light and silky yet full-bodied and satisfying. The taste is layered and refined: hints of rose, peach, and citrus shimmer on the surface, while deeper notes of honey and caramel lend a gentle sweetness that rounds each sip. As the liquor cools, a fresh malty aroma rises from the cup, comforting and warm like the breath of sun-drenched fields. This tea is low in caffeine, making it ideal for tranquil mornings or unwinding at twilight. What sets Golden Tips apart is its graceful complexity. Its smooth texture and luxurious mouthfeel deliver an indulgent experience without overpowering. Beneath the orchard brightness, subtle earthy undertones—touches of soft cocoa or seasoned wood—whisper through the brew, grounding its elegance with depth and soul. Each variation, each cup, tells a slightly different story, revealing the plant’s natural beauty and the craftsmanship behind it. The finish is as memorable as the first sip—clean, sweet, and lingering, like sunlight drifting past the horizon. Knuckles Valley’s Ceylon Golden Tips is not just a rare tea, but a contemplative experience that elevates the everyday. It invites drinkers to slow down, engage their senses, and savour the artistry poured into each golden bud.

Knuckles Valley’s Ceylon Handmade Green Tea is a tribute to craftsmanship and purity—each leaf shaped by hand, each sip echoing the lush vibrancy of Sri Lanka’s southern terroir. With a shotty appearance that reflects its artisanal form, the dry leaf offers a visual prelude to a gentle transformation: when infused, it unfurls into a green liquor with soft brown hues and a grassy, meadow-like aroma that awakens the senses with understated elegance. This is a green tea that surprises. Its vibrant yellow infusion gleams with clarity and brightness, presenting a deceptively light body that hides a spirited character beneath. A signature piquancy, distinct to Ceylon Green Teas, dances across the palate and evolves into a gentle citrus finish, leaving a refreshing, clean aftertaste. It’s the kind of profile that feels both invigorating and calming—perfect for mindful sipping or moments of focused clarity. The handmade process is not simply a method; it’s a philosophy. By hand-picking only the best leaves and carefully preserving their natural antioxidants, Knuckles Valley ensures that each batch retains its nourishing properties alongside its refined taste. Unlike mass-produced greens, this tea speaks of the land and the hands that shaped it, offering a harmonious balance of smoothness and vitality. Whether you seek a grounding start to your day or a quiet afternoon reprieve, Ceylon Handmade Green Tea delivers a rejuvenating experience tailored for well-being. Best enjoyed on its own to appreciate its delicate layers, or lightly chilled for a modern, refreshing twist—it’s a conscious choice for those who value authenticity, clarity, and the quiet luxury of nature distilled into a cup.

Knuckles Valley crafts teas not simply for drinking, but for delighting in every mood and moment. This collection, famed for its excellence across continents, is a celebration of diversity—from vibrant everyday brews to rare artisan infusions. Among these treasures are the designer gourmet blends and legendary connoisseur's picks: Ceylon Silver Tips and the exquisite Seasonal Flush White Tea. Each is created with reverence, guided by nature’s rhythm and perfected by hand. The Seasonal Flush is a phenomenon as rare as it is remarkable—harvested just twice a year in the highlands of Nuwara Eliya at 6,000 feet above sea level. At first light, skilled pickers gather only the most delicate buds, no longer than three centimetres, enveloped in silk to preserve purity. Sun-dried and hand-rolled, these needle-like silvery buds yield a pale liquor with ethereal softness, layered with a fleeting greenish nuance of high-grown character. The infusion is not just mild and elusive—it’s poetry in a cup. Distinct in appearance and uncompromising in purity, Knuckles Valley’s Ceylon Silver Tips represent white tea in its truest form. While many claim to offer the luxury of white tea, few stay true to its essence—the single bud harvest, revered locally for its quality and rarity. Its velvety texture and soft floral aroma create a refined, understated brew that quietly captivates the senses. The visual beauty of the unfurled buds alone adds a moment of awe to every pour. In a market teeming with imitations, Knuckles Valley stands firm in authenticity. Many “white teas” sold globally are diluted blends, containing mere traces of true white buds—sometimes less than 2%. But here, purity reigns. This is white tea as it was meant to be: rare, unadulterated, and elevated into a sublime experience. Knuckles Valley’s white tea is a gift to those who seek nuance, heritage, and the quiet luxury of excellence, one impeccable cup at a time.
