Ceylon Tea acquired its desirability as a result of our emphasis on high quality teas made in the traditional, orthodox way, blessed with significant natural diversity of aroma and taste. From amongst the seven tea growing regions of Ceylon, teas grown in the remote Uva region were known for their pleasantly mellow character. During the autumnal, southwest monsoon however, they are transformed for a brief moment - dry and dessicating winds barrel through the mountainous region, causing a natural seasonal, wintergreen character in the teas. This rare and exotic seasonal character expresses the fingerprint of nature in teas that are made with respect to nature-handpicked and handmade in the artisanal, orthodox style. A changing climate meant that we have not had an Uva Seasonal Flush Tea for five years, and that makes this one very special. Bright, with complex minty, eucalyptus merging with floral notes and soft astringency; an exceptional tea.
