Origin & Authenticity

Where does Bud To Cup Strawberry Black Tea come from?

This tea is handpicked at Adisham Tea Estate in Dickoya, Sri Lanka — part of the Hatton PLC estate network, with roots in a tea-making legacy stretching back to 1882. The Dickoya Estate itself was established in 1886. Every leaf is traceable to this single named estate, not sourced from anonymous commodity blending houses. The estate name and location are confirmed on every pack.

What does the Ceylon Tea Lion Logo on the packaging mean?

The Ceylon Tea Lion Logo is the official quality mark of the Sri Lanka Tea Board. It is a globally trademarked symbol guaranteeing the tea inside is 100% pure Ceylon tea — grown, manufactured, and packed entirely in Sri Lanka according to the Board's strict quality standards. If a product carries the Lion Logo, it cannot legally be a blend, a re-export, or a product mixed with tea from other countries. Every Bud To Cup pack features this mark prominently.

Is Bud To Cup tea single-origin?

Bud To Cup teas are estate-traceable, meaning every blend is sourced from a single, named heritage estate rather than blended from multiple anonymous sources or purchased through commodity blending houses. For the Strawberry Flavored Black Tea, that estate is Adisham in Dickoya — giving you the specific character of that estate's terroir in every cup.

Product Range

What types of tea does Bud To Cup sell?

The current collection includes 8 varieties across two tea families. Black teas: Pure Ceylon Classic Black, Berry-Mix Flavored Black, Cinnamon Flavored Black, Strawberry Flavored Black, and Peach Flavored Black. Green teas: Pure Ceylon Classic Green, Moroccan Mint Flavored Green, and Vanilla Flavored Green. All come in 20-bag packs. Classic Black is priced at $6.99; all other varieties are $9.49.

What is the difference between the Classic and Flavored teas?

The Classic Black and Classic Green teas contain only pure Ceylon tea leaves with no added flavors — for drinkers who want the clean, authentic character of the tea itself. The six flavored varieties, including this Strawberry blend, combine the same authentic Ceylon tea base with added flavoring to create distinct taste profiles. In every case, the Ceylon tea base remains the same high-quality, estate-sourced leaf.

Which Bud To Cup tea is best for iced tea?

All eight varieties work well as iced tea, but the fruit-forward black teas — Strawberry, Berry-Mix, and Peach — are particularly suited to it. Their bright, juicy flavors hold up well over ice and don't require much sweetener. The Strawberry is especially popular brewed double-strength, poured over ice, with a splash of milk for a strawberries-and-cream iced drink.

Brewing & Use

How do I brew Bud To Cup Strawberry Black Tea?

Use freshly boiled water at 100°C / 212°F and steep for 3 to 5 minutes depending on your preferred strength. Longer steeping gives a bolder black tea backbone; a shorter steep keeps the strawberry flavor brighter and lighter. Remove the bag, enjoy as-is, or add milk for a strawberries-and-cream style cup. Sugar or honey enhances the fruit notes further.

Can I make iced tea with Bud To Cup Strawberry Black Tea?

Yes — the Strawberry Flavored Black Tea is one of the most popular varieties in the range for iced tea. Brew one bag in 6 oz (180 ml) of boiling water at 100°C / 212°F for 4 to 5 minutes at double strength. Stir in sugar while still hot, then pour over a full glass of ice and top up with chilled water. Add a splash of milk for a "strawberries and cream" iced variation.

Can I make a "strawberries and cream" tea with this blend?

Yes — and it is one of the simplest ways to make an impressive cup. Brew the bag at 100°C / 212°F for 3 to 5 minutes, then add a generous splash of whole milk or oat milk. The strawberry softens into a smooth, lightly creamy sweetness — no sugar required, though a small amount of honey works beautifully. It works both hot and iced.

Heritage & Story

How long has Bud To Cup been making tea?

Bud To Cup is built on a 140-year tea-making legacy that began in 1882 when Hatton PLC first cultivated tea in the Sri Lankan highlands. The Dickoya Estate — where the Strawberry tea leaves are grown — was established in 1886. The Carolina Tea Factory followed in 1892. Today, Bud To Cup is brought to the modern market by G & G Agro Commodities Pvt Ltd, carrying this heritage forward into accessible, everyday formats for the modern tea drinker.

Comparison

What makes Bud To Cup Strawberry Black Tea different from other strawberry teas?

Most strawberry teas use a generic blended black tea base sourced from commodity blending houses — the leaf quality is secondary to the flavoring. Bud To Cup starts with estate-traceable Ceylon black tea handpicked at Adisham Tea Estate in Dickoya, then layers bright strawberry flavor over a leaf that already has its own distinct character. The result is a strawberry tea where the tea itself is worth tasting. The authenticity is independently verified by the Ceylon Tea Lion Logo — the Sri Lanka Tea Board's globally trademarked quality seal guaranteeing the tea was grown, manufactured, and packed entirely in Sri Lanka.
