Black Pekoe tea

Pekoe is a classic Ceylon black tea of medium leaf category with a characteristic rich taste, tartness and rich aroma. It is grown at an altitude of over 1000 meters in central Sri Lanka, where the favorable climate and fertile soils give the tea special depth and energy.

The taste of Pekoe is deep, with a slight bitterness, notes of wood and prunes. The aroma is rich, classically tea-like, with the freshness of a high-altitude harvest. The color of the infusion is dark amber, bright and transparent.

Ceylon tea is the pride of Sri Lanka

The tea industry in Ceylon dates back to the 19th century, when British colonizers established the first plantations to replace coffee plantations destroyed by a fungus. The highland regions of Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula and Uva became synonymous with high-quality black tea. Today, Ceylon tea is considered the benchmark for connoisseurs of the classics.
