Ceylon Uva

Usually I like this tea, but this batch brews very week, and I am using twice as much as usual to get taste.

Fantastic tea!

I never add anything to my black tea and it’s a tea like this that makes me glad that I don’t. This tea has such a great flavor. The leaves just come alive after steeping. And you’d do a great injustice to yourself and to this tea not to inspect the hydrated leaves. They are soft as velvet and have such a great color. An easy 5 stars!

Ceylon Uva

Sri Lankan Black Tea

Situated 1100 meters above sea level on the island of Sri Lanka, the Uva region produces teas of distinctly different character from their Ceylonese siblings. Uvas are astringent, intensely floral and slightly sharp in flavor with a golden cup color. They add “bite” and freshness to blends.

Uva Province

Uva Province is located in the soutestern part of Sri Lanka and is the second least populated portion of the island. It makes up for this with an abundance of exceptional tea gardens and wonderfule scenic overviews, like Lipton's Seat, where one can have a fresh cup of tea from the Dambethenna Estate and a front row seat to harvesting in the surrounding tea fields. We buy our teas during the peak harvest moths of June through September.
