Ceylon Tea is a popular type of black tea that is also known as Sri Lankan tea. While Ceylon is known for its bold flavor, it can vary significantly in taste, depending on the type of tea and where it's grown in the country.
The WATTE series is the most exclusive tea in the world. It represents the unique qualities of select estates in the four primary Ceylon Tea growing regions; from dark, full-bodied low elevation teas, to the light, bright teas grown at the highest mountain elevations.
A High Grown estate of 460 hectares, Somerset is in the famous Dimbula Valley on the Western slopes of Sri Lanka's Tea Country. Tea was first planted here in the 1870s after the flourishing coffee industry was destroyed by a leaf blight.
Tasting Notes, Medium brown with tints of orange. An almost savoury taste. Fruity, exotic perfume with a balance in taste from the ample tannins, strong but not brooding. Comparable to a pinot noir wine made from grapes grown in cool climates. A tea that is delicate, radiant and elegant.
