Ceylon Black Tea, Uda Pussellawa

Uda Pussellawa is one of the seven tea-growing districts of Sri Lanka. It lies between the Kandy and Uva districts on the eastern slopes of the hill country, and includes the sub-districts of Maturata, Ragala and Halgranoya. The Sri Lanka Tea Board gives its elevations as 950 m to 1,600 m. The district has two quality seasons, eastern and western. The Tea Board sums up Uda Pussellawa tea as exquisitely tangy. Its tasters often compare it with the tea of neighbouring Nuwara Eliya, but find it darker in the cup, with a pinkish hue and greater strength. It is known for a medium body and subtle character. Typical uses are single region packs, loose leaf lines and blending. This tea is listed as available on request, as a standard export product of Sri Lanka. Packaging is available on request.
