The base tea for this delighful flavored green tea comes from a small tea estate in Sri Lanka called Elpitiya. The estate is medium sized producing over 1.4 million lbs of tea each year and does this on about 900 acres of land in the Kandy district. In total the estate employees about 100 people but also buys green leaf from small holders which in turn has improved the living of another 500 families! Additionally the estate provides health care to its workers at district hospitals and on the estate itself there is a small dispensary manned by a nurse to attend to minor day to day injuries. Generally grown throughout the world strawberries are known to be a delicious fruit. In the 13th century, France used the strawberry for medicinal purposes being high in folic acid and vitamin C.
