100% Ceylon Black Tea Leaves – OP1 Kenilworth, Sri Lanka.

This garden produces a leaf tea quality that is unique in Sri Lanka, with an extremely accurately processed leaf and an unmistakable character. It’s leaf is coarse, vert wiry and rolled. Once brewed it produces that medium-bodied, spicy-aromatic cup we so much love for an afternoon tea.

The tiny island of Sri Lanka is the world’s third largest producer of tea, due in part to the fact that tea can be harvested year-round here. The island is blessed with perfect trade winds and striking geography, creating unique micro-climates favourable to tea production. Tea flavour is very much tied to the altitude where it grows here: low, medium or high, each with its own sought-after character. Low-grown teas are hearty, tangy and very rich in taste. High-grown teas are much lighter bodied, but are more aromatic and sweet. Mid-grown are a combination of the two, depending on exact conditions. Medium to full body with noticeable unique aromatics.
