Luxury Crafted by Nature…

UVA SEASONAL FLUSH 2024

The allure of luxury has charted the evolution of civilization over the ages, always an echo of the values of society. That evolution from decadent opulence to conscious, natural luxury is most perfectly expressed in the Uva Seasonal Flush Tea, a rare, small batch tea, exclusively presented to you by family tea grower, Dilmah.

Second generation tea grower Dilhan C. Fernando describes ‘the Uva Seasonal phenomenon’ as ‘a confluence of natural, climatic factors producing a tea of exceptional sophistication and majestic disposition. Bright, with fragrant and sparkling amber infusion, complex mint, eucalyptus, wintergreen aroma and taste merging with floral, herb notes on an oaky foundation.’

The surpassing brightness and autumnal wintergreen note in this extraordinary tea is crafted by nature, each facet of the experience of this tea on the eye, nose and palate, influenced by the fleeting combination of sunshine, seasonal winds, soil, geography and temperature in Sri Lanka’s most remote, Uva region.

Terroir

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.
