ALL THE BLACK TEAS LISTED HERE ARE OF SPECIAL SEASONAL
QUALITY MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR US AT THE INDIVIDUAL ESTATE FACTORIES:
PESTICIDES RESIDUES:
There is considerable concern by many consumers about pesticide levels in food
products. Ceylon teas are controlled by special regulations on restriction in
the use of pesticides. There is a special regulatory mechanism in place to register
acceptable pesticides for import and then a licensing process for their use
only when bad disease outbreaks have been notified and cleared for treatment.
As a result of this strict policy Ceylon teas were declared the cleanest teas
in the world with regard to spray chemical residues in 1997 and that status
continues to this day. Some background to this can be seen in the 'NEWS' section
and also in the 'Health' section of
this website.
BLACK OR GREEN TEA for HEALTH ?:
Up to now it has been proposed that Green teas are the healthy option for you.
This view is outdated and superseded by years of research into Black teas. Both
teas possess these health advantages as long as they are of the Camellia Sinensis
tea bush. This does not relate to Robibos, Mate herbal teas or fruit teas, none
of these named teas are from the Camellia Sinensis bush. See the Health section
for full information and the booklet on sale below. Consumers should however
understand that these health promoting factors can be degraded under certain
conditions in manufacture and where teas are exposed to air as in some re-packing
situations as tea is extremely hygroscopic.

| TEA FOR HEALTH By Dr. Tissa Amarakoon
In the heading above is a bar called: 'More Information B1 please click
on this for more information.
Summary of the latest researches into the properties of Green & Black
teas from around the world and in particular the work by Dr. Amarakoon
of the Tea Research Institute (TRI) of Sri Lanka (Ceylon).
Interestingly it shows that both Green and Black teas have equal health
giving properties and benefits.
This is important as up to now, Green tea has been trumpeted as the health
giving tea. Black tea has now been put under the microscope as research
has progressed on all teas. However please note that this research is
only applicable to 'CAMELLIA SINENSIS' or true tea.
There are some provisos which react on and degenerate these properties.
Firstly method of manufacture, time of year for manufacture and how the
teas are packed or stored.
Dry weather seasonal teas have high levels of theaflavins and it is important
to seal these in straight from manufacture before they can be degraded.
I recommend this booklet for the clear way in which it explains the subject.

SPICED
TEA or CHAI
A specially
prepared blending with a tea to balance the inclusion of six cut
fresh spices layered within the tea. This produces a wonderfully aromatic
warming brew. we advise the use of a strainer when pouring the liquor
into a cup to avoid any of the pieces of spice passing into the cup.
Jasmine
Blossoms:
Here
we have added the natural Jasmine blossoms to the specially selected GREEN
tea by layering the blossoms over the tea and then mixing.The liquor produces
a delicate but highly aromatic brew which is ideal drunk on its own after
a meal.
Green
Kandyan Blooms:
Winner
of SILVER at the London 2001 International Annual Taste Awards
The bud and
only one tender leaf were plucked by 12 selected pluckers, early in the
morning before sunrise. The special open rolling manufacture allows the
leaf to unfurl like a bloom once brewed. For best effect brew in a glass
receptical. Brew at 80 - 90 o degrees C. (176 - 194 F).
It is interesting to brew this tea in a glass receptacle such a suitable
glass or glass pot
