A smooth, even leaf, with green tones. Being grown at a very high elevation gives the liquor a light, golden colour with a delightful balance of robust taste and fragrant aroma. These are released upon brewing and include suggestions of citrus, fruit and flowers.

The "Lovers' Leap" estate is located in the Nuwara Eliya district of Sri Lanka at heights well above 2000 m (6000 ft).

The romantic name belies an unhappy story. Forbidden by her father the King to marry the man she loved, a local princess ran away with her beloved and, in despair, they jumped from a rocky outcrop to their deaths.

This is no reflection on an excellent tea!

Region & Growing Info

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, produces a range of Black teas, particularly in Nuwara Eliya, Kandy, Uva, and Dimbula. Nuwara Eliya’s high-altitude teas are light and floral, while Uva teas are bold, tangy, and slightly sweet. Ceylon tea is known for its brisk, refreshing taste.

Ceylon teas are prized for their brightness and versatility, often used in blends or enjoyed on their own. Each region’s unique terroir influences the flavour of its teas, from robust and malty to delicate and aromatic. Sri Lanka has also ventured into green and white tea production, expanding its tea offerings.
