A wonderfully rich cup with lush floral notes, a medium thick liquor and a bright golden cup. Over the years we have sampled many grades of tea from this estate but felt that their OP grade offering was the very best example of the high quality they offer. For decades the Sylvakandy Estate has been associated with exceptionally crafted teas. Located in the Central Province of Sri Lanka - in what is known as the Matale District - the Sylvakandy Estate location was chosen for its high elevation (the estate's gardens range from 550 to 1220 meters above sea level, with heavy and consistent rainfall) which is instrumental in the growing of outstanding Ceylon tea.
Please note: In order to become more environmentally-friendly we no longer add large coloured labels to our tea packets. Simply peel off the small name label from the back of your packet to make it totally biodegradable! Gift tubes are as shown.

A bit lacking in flavour. Strength and colour were good
