Ceylon Uva Blackwood OP1 Black - Option: 1 kg

The first tea plant was brought to Ceylon from China by the British in 1824, nevertheless the tea industry was not started until 1867, when it was established by James Taylor on the Loolecondera Estate, on a surface area of a mere 19 acres. Black tea is a typical product of the tea plantations of the island of Sri Lanka. Our organic OP1 black tea comes from Blackwood tea garden in Uva province. This fertile plantation, located at a height of 1000m to 1300m above sea level is known not only for the devotion of its workers, but above all for its high quality organic black tea. The unique traditional drying process helps preserve essential oils, thanks to which the tea offers an inimitable taste. This Orange Pekoe black tea from Blackwood Tea Estate has medium-long to long leaves. There is a lovely malty aroma from the wet leaves. The liquor produced has a dark ruby colour with a light mineral and malty aroma. The overall taste of this tea is soft and balanced, attributable to the high-grown nature of it. The fruity profile has woody and sweet malty notes that progress to a mouthwatering aftertaste that features just a touch of tannins. There is a general citrus note present that becomes more prominent as the tea cools down. More
