New Vithanakande FBOPF ExSp - Ratnapura
A strategically located manufacturing plant located in the low altitude Ratnapura District in Sri Lanka, with a mix of ultra modern equipment and age-old skills producing high quality Black Tea out of green tea leaves procured from around 6000 Small Holder Growers in its vicinity. The factory is "A" rated by the ethical tea partnership.
This tea grade is an award winning world renowned tea. Fine wiry whole leaf with abundant gold tips that infuse to a warm russet cup colour with a rich honey fragrance. To be drunk on its own. The silver luster of its buds offers refined contrast to the oxidized and very uniform leaves. Its dark liquor is full and glossy, amply developing its full bodied character which is malty and sweet. The nuances of roasted peppers and prunes bring lightness and dynamism to this tea with the classic taste of Sri Lanka.
