Burmese Breakfast: A new blend from Myanmar
This is an unexpected tea, born of necessity after a year of conflict and a devastating earthquake. Due to conditions this year, our partners in Mogok, along with several other growers in the region, were unable to produce enough raw leaf to meet demand.

Amba Thieves Tea comes from a small, organic farm in Uva, Sri Lanka. The name "Thieves Tea" comes from the days when workers were prohibited by plantation owners from taking tea from the fields — when it was meant to be sold as a luxury item. So they would sneak out raw leaves and make it at home.
