GRADE
This tea is graded Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe (FBOP), a fancy grade in the speciality category of Ceylon tea.
ORIGIN
The Imboolpitiya Estate is located in the Kotmale / Nawalapitiya region between Kandy and Hatton in Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon until 1974). The estate is located in the high medium region of the country, approximately 3500 ft above sea level.
We were personally recommended this single estate pure ceylon tea by Mr Merrill J. Fernando, the founder of Dilmah Tea, a pioneering tea company in Sri Lanka. Mr Fernando took a key role in resisting multi national companies who wanted to change from traditional orthodox manufacturing to fast track methods for commercial gain, which would have reduced the character and real taste of the tea.
THE EXPERIENCE
This tea makes a golden coloured liquor. It has a strong aroma with a bright and flavoursome taste.
