Ceylon Black Tea, Nuwara Eliya

Nuwara Eliya is one of the seven tea-growing districts of Sri Lanka. The Sri Lanka Tea Board describes it as the most rugged and mountainous district, with the highest average elevation. Tea here is cultivated at an altitude averaging 2,000 m. The air is cool, rainfall is moderate, and the nights are cold and sometimes frosty. The Tea Board sums up Nuwara Eliya tea as delicately fragrant. Its tasters describe the infusion as the lightest and palest of all Ceylon teas, with a golden hue. Sought-after grades include whole leaf Orange Pekoe (OP) and Broken Orange Pekoe (BOP). Typical uses are single region packs, loose leaf lines and blends that need a light, fragrant tea. This tea is listed as available on request, as a standard export product of Sri Lanka. Packaging is available on request.
