High grown Ceylon tea tastes different; more extreme flavour with a smooth, non-bitter taste.
The incredible diversity of climate in the 'hill country', the monsoonal rains, the sunshine and sea winds, produce a range of purely natural flavours that distinguish pure Ceylon tea from other teas.
High grown Ceylon teas range from delicate to full bodied with distinct seasonal flavours. Single estate teas return the excitement of tasting 100% natural tea made in the classical tradition of tea making, where careful hand-picking of leaves and skill and experience is used to process a unique natural product season after season. Yes, top quality teas are seasonal!
Importantly, these teas have provenance and you, the customer, may know, precisely, the source of your tea.
