Organic Ceylon Tea

There are seven distinct Ceylon tea districts and each district, with its own climate and terrain, produces tea with a slightly different taste and character. The Kandy district is the oldest district located in the central province of Sri Lanka. Tea from this area is said to be intense and full-bodied. The Nuwara Eliya district is rugged, mountainous, and has the highest elevation. Tea from this region has a golden hue and is delicate and fragrant. The Uda Pussellawa district is wet and misty. Tea from this region is typically dark and pinkish, and may have a hint of rose aroma. The tea is usually described as having a medium body with a subtle character, although heavy rainfall may produce a darker tea with stronger flavor. The Uva Province experiences dry winds and sometimes monsoon systems. The climate produces aromatic tea with a mellow, smooth taste. Thomas Lipton produced tea in this region, which he used to bring tea-tasting culture to America. The Dimbula district is wet and misty for most of the year. The tea from this region is described as refreshing and mellow with a golden-orange hue. The Sabaragamuwa Province has rich valleys that produce tea with a hint of sweet caramel. The Ruhuna district is located in the southern province of Sri Lanka and produces "low-grown" teas described as full-flavored and unique.
