Not a bad price - £1.50 for 50 bags. Just a little more than Asda, and considerably less than Twinings. Fair Trade as well. The blurb claims "small leaf tea", though most tea is going to be small leafed as that is what is picked. More interesting the packet gives precise locations: "grown in the famous Dimbula and Nuwara Eliya districts". Dimbula is possibly the very first tea region. Twinings sell Dimbula for £15 a packet; though it can be bought for around £2.80, and even Kenilworth Estate can be bought for £5.33.
The tea is rather delicate - perhaps too delicate for my taste. On a blind sample against Asda and Crai, I preferred the more robust Crai.
