Where It's Grown

On the sun-drenched eastern slopes of Sri Lanka's central highlands, Uva is home to some of the most aromatic teas in the world. Between 900 and 1,500 metres, the leaf matures slowly in cool mountain air, building a crisp, clean briskness and a pronounced aroma with hints of wood and honey.

Our Cardamom Black (FBOP grade) brings this character to the cup: nutty, spicy & delicate.

Elevation 900–1,500 m
Monsoon Dry kachan winds
Best season July – September

From December to February the northeast monsoon brings rain to these eastern hills. Then, from July to September, the dry, cool kachan winds of the southwest monsoon sweep over the mountains. This gentle stress concentrates flavour in the leaf, giving Uva's seasonal teas their famous mellow, almost wintergreen-like fragrance.

“Beautiful cardamom”

Mildly spicy with that nutty cardamom fragrance I love. Reminds me of chai without the heaviness.

“Complex and clean”

Delicate spice, bright Ceylon base. Not too sweet. I've bought this twice already.

“Lovely aroma”

The smell when you open the pack is fantastic. Flavour follows through in the cup. Highly recommend.
