Ceylon Black Tips Tea - 113 g (The Tao of Tea, Oregon, USA)

Ingredients: 100 % organic black tea leaves.

Comments: In Sri Lanka, the lush tea country is divided by a chain of mountains which form the climatic divide of the island into a Western and Eastern region. On the eastern side is the Uva region, while the Dimbulla region lies on the western side, each producing teas renowned for their distinct character and flavour.
Ceylon Black Tips is an Orange Pekoe (OP) Grade*, and comes from the Bogawantalawa Valley in the Dimbulla region of Sri Lanka, grown at an elevation ranging from 1100 to 1300 metres. This estate is renowned for the production of quality organic black teas. Ceylon Black Tips is made from long tip leaves, and has a full-bodied, sweet flavour. The tea can be enjoyed with or without milk. This tea estate is ISO 9001:2000 certified.

* Orange pekoe is a term mainly used to describe a grade of tea found in the grading system used for sorting black teas. The system is based solely upon the size of the processed and dried black tea leaves. Black teas to be graded in this system must be obtained from new flushes, which are the terminal leaf bud along with a few of the youngest tea leaves.
Although the grading system is not an indicator of quality, the black teas of the basic grade (Orange Pekoe) are highly fragrant, with strong floral and fruity aromas, as well as a pleasant woody note. The taste should be slightly bitter with no astringency, and a sweet aftertaste.
