Ceylon Pettiagalla

Ceylon (renamed Sri Lanka in 1972) offers teas with a broad spetrum of flavours due to the geography of the area they are grown in.

The tea plantations are grown in many different altitudes and soils and therefore the flavour of the teas differs depending on where they were grown (not unlike grapes for wine).

Aromatic and golden teas from the higher grown regions and Ceylon teas with a stronger, darker quality from lower growing regions.

Typically however Ceylon teas can be distinguished by the bright golden colour with a crisp citrus aroma.

A lighter colour and flavour than Assam which is darker, stronger and maltier.

Ceylon teas are perfect for those that prefer a mild to medium strength tea.

The Pettiagalla plantation is a high growing area which produces a luxurious aromatic tea.  A dark red colour and a very popular tea because of the highly aromatic yet mild flavour.  

All Ceylon tea lovers should try it!

An OP cut the leaves are dark, long and wiry.  The infusion has a spicy and slightly malty character. Click here for more info about Ceylon teas.
