The Whole Leaf New Vithanakande Teas

Tea originating from the Camellia Sinensis plant is distinguished by its lush dark green leaves. The glossy immature whole leaf is hand plucked along with its young shoots and processed for optimal quality. Whole leaf tea provides the healthiest and most invigorating cup of tea due to the retention of all its delicately flavoured oils, as whilst in the process of steeping the whole tea leaves open up to flavour the water with all its health giving and invigorating properties. With whole leaf tea, you experience the ultimate tea drinking in contrast to many other forms of tea.

Vithanakande offers you a pure, clean, refreshing cup of tea that is unblended and produced in the most pristine conditions. Its freshness is guaranteed as it is packed immediately after production and shipped to you in the shortest possible time, allowing you to benefit from all the health giving properties of the leaf.
