There are four gaps
that determine quality levels at Nuwara Eliya; on the North East leading into
the Kothmale valley, on the South East to the province of Uva, on the west to
the Dimbulla valley and on the East to Kandapola and Udupussellawa.
Depending on the altitude at which it is grown, twelve of our estates situated
in the Nuwara Eliya district manufacture tea, reputed for their exquisite
flavours and aroma and categorized as High growns.
In addition to the other attractions the center of the country has to offer; a
healing climate, beautiful scenery, wooded wilderness and flowery meadows, the
land of these estates also yield champagne teas. The mist which rises from the
ground like the steam from a cup of tea, is not only a beautiful sight but carry
all the ingredients for the enhancement of the quality of our tea. The
dehydrating monsoon winds produce a strange ingenuous character in the tender
leaves which is unique to the region. The combination of the air which is always
scented with the fragrance of the ‘Queen of the Night” that grows in abundance
around the factories, and mentholated with cypress gives our high growns a
unique character recognized by connoisseurs of tea around the world. This tea
when brewed is light in color but has an exquisite flavor and aroma. Give it
time to brew and drink it straight.
Brewing hints: Infuse in boiling water for four to five minutes
Drinking suggestions: Drink with or without milk as an excellent all day
tea
