Sri Lanka has six main growing regions – Nuwara Eliya, Uva, Dimbula, Kandy, Ratnapura and Galle. Each produces teas with an individual character but the teas typically give a brisk, bright liquor with good aroma and flavour.

Assam teas grow in the Brahmaputra valley where humidity is high and temperatures soar. The bushes grow well in such conditions and produce teas that are rich, smooth and malty in flavour.

China Congou black leaf tea is layered with pink rose petals to give a mellow, sweet-tasting tea with a wonderfully perfumed aroma.
