This tea comes to you from the Harrow Estate and Kaipoogala in Punduloya, Sri Lanka. It is an everyday tea – in that you might drink it daily, however the quality, as you may expect from a Single Estate Tea grown over 1,200 meters above sea level – is extraordinary.

It’s a high altitude Ceylon tea, but not too high as in 2000m, where the flavour is delicate, and not a low country variety (the most common) that creates a thick, dark, brew. This tea has a good balance between the mountains and the lower hills, yielding delicacy and flavour. We present you with a broken Orange Pekoe being the most sought after standard as fannings (BOPF). Fannings represent small particles though not as small as dust as found in most tea bags. These factory fresh leaf fannings will, due to their granularity, yield a strong, flavoursome brew relatively quickly – a “builder’s brew.”

You may be surprised at how few are the number of teaspoons needed for a regular three cup tea pot, for a good brew, but you may need to adjust quantity to taste. We recommend starting with two teaspoons per pot and adjusting as needed. Suffice to say, that a teaspoon will be stronger than a tea bag and your purchase could serve you considerably longer than a box of tea bags.

We feel you will enjoy this Single Estate Tea, obtained without blending, auction houses or middlemen, straight from the factory at Harrow Estate to your pot. Your purchase ensures the vitality of the tea estate and the labourers and biodiversity that such estates support.
