More about tea preparation

A bright orange-red cup, like the Sri Lankan evening sun...

Even today, tea from Sri Lanka is traditionally named after the old country name "Ceylon". In the region around the small town of Nuwara Eliya, tea leaves are harvested all year round, from which pleasantly soft, gentle black teas with a unique lemon character are produced.

Nuwara Eliya means "city of light" and is located in the central province of Sri Lanka. Thanks to its altitude of 1990 m above sea level, the region enjoys a pleasantly mild climate in which even temperate fruits and vegetables thrive, such as apples. However, Nuwara Eliya is particularly famous for its tea cultivation. The Orange Pekoe produced here is considered the best tea of its kind in the country and is highly regarded worldwide.

Orange Pekoe (abbreviation OP) refers to the so-called leaf grade of a tea. Leaf grade is a category in which tea leaves are classified according to their size. The different leaf grades are used exclusively for processed black tea. Orange Pekoe refers to a black tea with whole leaves of medium size, i.e. the classic leaf tea. Other leaf grades are Broken, Fannings and Dust.
