AMBA Estate Oolong Tea / Pitu Bambuwa Green
Pickup currently not available
An award winning traditional green tea from Amba Estate in Sri Lanka, made using a one-leaf-and-bud pluck. Freshly harvested leaves are steamed in a bamboo rice steamer, hand-rolled in a “kula” basket, and dried in a wok. The result is a green tea with clean grassy, vegetal notes, a touch of oceanic umami on the nose, and a bittersweet finish.
Ingredients
Camellia Sinensis
Tasting notes
This hand-crafted green tea from Amba Estate offers a refined and vibrant tasting experience. The first sip reveals clean, grassy notes with a fresh, almost dewy quality, followed by delicate vegetal tones reminiscent of young spinach or sugar snap peas. A subtle oceanic umami rises on the nose, lending depth and a savory edge without overpowering the palate. The finish is gently bittersweet, leaving a crisp, satisfying impression that reflects the care and tradition behind its small-batch production.
