Western New Season BOP ........... Dickoya District:
Winner of SILVER at the London 2004 Annual Taste Awards
Not far from Brunswick and yet we enter this golden valley and the tea changes yet again. Produces a wonderful aromatic flavoury tea with an unusual yellowy green liquor. The liquor possesses the typical seasonal character of this special area which exhibits an aroma.

Uva Seasonal Dark Liquor - Uva District
Some of you maybe customers of my St. James FBOP. Uva is a tricky district where one or two estates have been promoted internationally and command very high prices indeed. In our opionion quality has varied for a number of reasons and we have therefore taken the decision to pick out the estate which is an equivalent of St.James with a darker liquor colour but which is in our opinion the best quality tea in that season. The above may therefore be St. James or another equivalent estate. It will always be a single estate tea though.
St.James FBOP - Winner of SILVER at the London 2001 Annual Taste Awards. No gold was awarded in 2001.
 Made in the unique world famous Uva district season. We have this manufactured after midnight for the coolness to develop the volatile flavoury oils at this time. Produces a rounded liquor with some colour and a delicate flowery flavour and aroma. Will balance milk if required. For my recommendations without milk. Click - More information.

Uva  Seasonal Light Liquor  FBOP           Uva District (North):
Some of you maybe customers of my Uva Highlands FBOP. Uva is a tricky district where one or two estates have been promoted internationally and command very high prices indeed. In our opionion quality has varied for a number of reasons and we have therefore taken the decision to pick out the estate which is an equivalent of Uva Highlands with a light liquor colour but which is in our opinion the best quality tea in that season. The above may therefore be St. Uva Highlands or another equivalent estate. It will always be a single estate tea though.
Uva Highlands FP - Winner of SILVER at the London 2002 Annual Taste Awards.
Situated at the edge of the famous Uva Malwatta valley. A light coloured liquor with a high level of flavour from the hot drying wind, is aromatic and yet has a smoothness. The connoisseur's delight. We do not recommend using milk with this tea. A trio of classics which really epitomise the gulf between tea bags and proper leaf teas. 

Brewing:   For black teas we recommend that the freshly drawn water is allowed to boil to the point of vibration when the first bubbles rise and then poured from the kettle swiftly and with a swirling action on to the leaf in the pot. To allow the kettle to proceed to the cut off click reduces the oxygen (life) in the water. Green leaf tea requires a lower temperature water at approximately 80 - 90 ^o C (176 - 194 F) and brewing for a shorter time e.g 1.5 to 2.5 minutes. Some green teas may require a longer time to suit some palates e.g. Silver Tips.

For teas with milk brew for 3 - 5 minutes to your palate requirement. For teas to be drunk without milk reduce the amount of leaf normally used for with milk. e.g. 1 level or heaped spoon per 2 cup pot and brewed for 2.5  - 3.5 minutes will produce a lighter liquor with accentuated flavour and aroma.
ICED TEA:    Brew at double strength and pour into a glass or glasses filled with ice.
