Craighead Estate
A unique tea that was handmade for our Founder's Anniversary celebration from a small batch of handpicked buds and leaves. Grown at 914 metres above sea level on the iconic Craighead Estate, first planted in 1904 by the Craighead Tea Company.
This tea is made from the original seedling teas planted by Scottish tea planters over 100 years ago. A shotty, high grown pekoe 1 with excellent leaf appearance yields a bright, coppery infusion and a golden-amber liquor. Aburst of fresh citrus and delicate oaky, herb notes greet the taste buds, evolving into a zesty, refreshing tea with a sparkling finish.
