Ruhunu - Balangoda Estate Pekoe

This bold Ceylon Balangoda FP (Flowery Pekoe) Tea offers strength without bitterness and a fine rich flavour. Strong enough for breakfast it takes milk and sugar well. Also a fine afternoon tea served plain. Use one teaspoon of tea per cup and steep about 3 minutes. The Balangoda Estate is in one of the most beautiful corners of the planet. It is situated in the low-grown Ruhunu district and shares geography with the breathtaking Yala National Park. The park is comprised of wild brush, ocean, beaches, jungles, rocky terrain and numerous lakes and rivers. Because of the wide variety terrain the park is home to a variety of animal life, from leopards to Asian elephants, wild boar, crocodiles, painted storks and of course the Sri Lanka Junglefowl. Although the Ruhunu district is perhaps better known for its parkland than tea the region produces some fabulous teas every bit as colourful and full of life as its wild inhabitants! This bold Ceylon Balangoda tea offers strength without bitterness and a fine rich flavour.
