INFORMATION:
These days, Santosa estate is at the forefront of Indonesian production. In fact, while many Indonesian teas are sold for blending purposes, teas from Santosa are prized the world over as unique self-drinkers - this BOPS is a wonderful example. The tea is only produced in August, Java's peak growing season. The cup is light and malty, with subtle floral undertones typical of good Indonesian teas. Although you may choose to enjoy this tea British style with milk and sugar, give it a try Java style - brewed double strength with double sugar.
