Copper-coloured leaf blend coming from the best high altitude gardens. This tea combines strong taste of Dimbula, briskness of the Uva and the aromatic note of Nuwara Eliya.
This black tea from Sri Lanka is one of the pillars of our range of natural black teas.
It is a blend of 3 black teas from gardens or districts located at more than 1200 m altitude.
Each one brings its own characteristics to make a great original vintage and rich in flavors.
The Nuwara Eliya district provides a tea with a flowery taste. The tea from Uva has a much rounder taste in the mouth and gives a beautiful infusion with copper colors. Finally the Dimbula garden, which culminates at 1400 m of altitude is known for its full-bodied tea of bronze color.
The letters that follow the name of a tea are useful to inform the consumer about the care taken at the time of picking and also about the size of the tea leaf.
OP (Orange Pekoe): Pekoe is the final bud, so these are young leaves that provide a very delicate taste. Orange does not mean a taste or a color, but refers to the royal family of the Netherlands, the Orange Nassau. One of its members particularly appreciated the delicacy of these teas.

Honestly, Sri Lankan black teas are probably my least favorite, so I was not excited to see this one this morning…
It’s pleasant enough – bready and a touch creamy up front, but then some bitterness and astringency creep in at the back of the mouth in the finish. Quite metallic and acidic, as I would expect from this type of tea.
It’s fine, just not my cuppa tea! :P
