Distinctive Nuwara Eliya Tea

This single region tea grown at high elevation at the very center of Sri Lanka’s hill country, Nuwara Eliya tea enjoys two ‘quality seasons, the eastern as well as the western. The balance between the two climatic systems varies from estate to estate. The Pure Ceylon Tea produced here has a refined quality that easily sets it apart from lower-grown varieties High altitude and year round low temperatures produce a very slow growing bush with unusually small leaves that take on an orange hue. The infused leaf acquires a greenish yellow tone, with a subtle golden hue and a delicate yet fragrant bouquet.
