the Top 25 small inns in all of Asia.   Here's a few of our favourite comments, and you can always see

expert Reviews of AMBA teas

Well-known tea experts and food critics in the US, UK and China have raved about Amba’s teas, coffees and jams.  

Amba’s hand-rolled Tippy Golden Orange Pekoe (TGOP) was the first and only Ceylon Tea included in
Fortnum and Mason’s top-tier “Tea Hunter” category.  Amba’s TGOP and our Lemongrass Tisane have been served at
many of the world’s top restaurants including NOMA in Copenhagen, Claridge’s Hotel in London and Bill’s Ginza in Tokyo.
