Where it grows

Region Nuwara Eliya District, Central Highlands, Sri Lanka

Altitude 1,868 metres

Climate Cool, misty mornings, mineral-rich acidic soil

Grade FOP1 (Flowery Orange Pekoe 1) — whole leaf, hand-picked

Nuwara Eliya sits at 1,868 metres in Sri Lanka's central highlands. The temperature drops at night. Mist rolls through the hills every morning and does not leave until noon. These conditions slow everything down. The tea plant grows at half the speed it would at lower altitude.

Known as the Champagne region of Ceylon tea, Nuwara Eliya produces some of the lightest, most aromatic black teas in the world.

About this tea

Nuwara Eliya FOP1

The black tea that does not taste like black tea.

1% whole leaf. Hand-picked from Sri Lanka's highest mountain at 1,868 metres.

Most black tea is built for milk. Strong, tannic, designed to disappear into dairy. This is not that tea.

Nuwara Eliya FOP1 is light, floral, and bright. The altitude slows the leaves down. They grow at half the speed, and every extra day builds a flavour most black teas never develop.

Pour it and watch. A clean amber that tells you before you taste it — this is different. The first sip is floral with a gentle muscatel sweetness. No bitterness. No heaviness. Just a quiet complexity that stays with you long after the cup is empty.

This is the tea that changes minds. The people who say they do not like black tea try this and go quiet for a moment.
