In Sri Lanka’s Uva hills, tea is picked by hand, one leaf and a bud at a time. The leaves are carefully hand-rolled, with golden buds still visible among the darker leaves. Its traditional grade is Tippy Golden Orange Pekoe, a long name for a detail you can see. The flavour brings to mind dried fruit and meadow grass, with a little citrus brightness. A hint of Uva wintergreen adds a cool freshness, giving the fruit notes a lively counterpoint.
