Ceylon Black Tea, Sabaragamuwa

Sabaragamuwa is one of the seven tea-growing districts of Sri Lanka. It covers most of the western and south-western faces of the central mountains, between the Sinharaja Forest and the Adam's Peak wilderness. The Sri Lanka Tea Board classes its teas as low-grown, with estates ranging from sea level to 610 m. The bush grows fast here and gives a long leaf. The Tea Board says the liquor is similar to that of Ruhuna tea, dark yellow-brown with a reddish tint. The aroma differs, with a hint of sweet caramel, and is not quite as strong. The Tea Board sums the tea up as exceptionally stylish. Its Ceylon Tea site describes a dry leaf of dark reddish black colour. Typical uses are strong tea lines and blends that need colour. This tea is listed as available on request, as a standard export product of Sri Lanka. Packaging is available on request.
