Crisp yet smooth, with a comforting aroma of caramel and biscuits, our luxury loose-leaf Ceylon Pekoe tea is a versatile black tea that works equally well as a morning brew or afternoon pick-you-up.

A single-origin tea from Maskeliya in Sri Lanka's hilly Central Province, this bright orange Pekoe leaf tea delivers a brisk, pungent flavour with a velvety mouthfeel and a delicious malty sweetness. Being a strong black tea, it has a high caffeine content, which can help with focus and alertness. It is packed with the antioxidant-rich plant compounds called polyphenols, associated with a range of health benefits, including improved digestion and heart health. Enjoy it as is, for a vegan tea, or even better with a generous splash of milk.

It's the beautifully rolled, evenly graded bold black leaves that give this Pekoe tea its superlatively smooth taste. 'Pekoe' is a high-quality black tea made from young leaves, and this stunning blend is produced using the authentic orthodox style of manufacturing, which has been practised in Sri Lanka for 150 years. It's also a hallmark of teas produced in Maskeliya, located in the shadow of the hauntingly beautiful Adam's Peak, Sri Lanka's iconic 2,243m-high mountain, also known as Sri Pada.

Region

Dimbula, Sri Lanka

Located in Sri Lanka’s Central Province, Nuwara Eliya is about 40 km south of Kandy in the hill country. The district's terrain is mainly mountainous, featuring deep valleys and expansive estates surrounded by dense forests. Nuwara Eliya, situated at 1,868 meters above sea level, is near Sri Lanka's highest peak, Pidurutalagala, at 2,542 meters, and the sacred Adam's Peak at 2,243 meters. Known as 'Little England,' the area retains a cool, temperate climate, making it apopular British colonial hill station and a contemporary resort destination.

Temperatures here are moderate year-round, peaking at 22°C in March and April and cooling to between 9°C and 20°C from November to January. The region, lying within the Wet Zone, experiences heavy cloud cover and consistent rainfall, especially from October to November, with milder rain from December to March. These conditions, along with fertile soils at high altitudes, are perfect for tea cultivation. After replacing disease-ravaged coffee plantations in the 1860s, tea became the predominant crop. Today, Nuwara Eliya is celebrated for its high-grown teas, renowned globally for their exceptional quality and flavour.
