This is a blend of our tea as well as tea from the Galle district, which is in the South Western part of Sri Lanka. In this area lowland tea is produced, which makes for a heavier, more robust tea than the highland tea. The tea has a handsome dark colour, a bold, spicy, round base with a slightly nutty aftertaste. Goes well with the Danish weather and is robust enough to be able to handle milk, honey and sugar.
This tea is the very best we can produce. It is grown after the best Japanese principles on our small plantation in Sri Lanka (Ceylon) with the one goal to produce a tea which is fine, soft and elegant. Every single cup of tea must be an experience for the senses. Therefore the plantation was carefully chosen because the unique compination of temperature, wind and soil conditions makes for an especially elegant flavour, and as we only use hand plucked top shoots the result is a fine and soft tea of the highest quality. Even though it can frequently be a challenge to grow tea at two kilometers above sea level on the other side of the Earth, we believe the result is worth all the troubles.
You can enjoy this tea in good conscience. We grow without the use of pesticides, with respect for the environment and with the best possible working conditions for the local employees, such as a high salary, six hour work days and free medicine.
