Kenilworth Estate: Ceylon Black Tea - Orange Pekoe
Savor the bold, full-bodied flavor of our Ceylon black tea from Sri Lanka’s historic Kenilworth Estate. This pure Ceylon tea is a classic black tea, known for its smooth, rich character that is free from bitterness, which is often found in lower-quality teas. It is made from carefully selected tea leaves of the Camellia Sinensis tea plant, using fine, whole leaves with minimal stems, contributing to its superior quality. Despite the name, “Orange Pekoe” refers to the grade of leaf—long and whole—not the flavor.
Grown in the mid-elevation Dimbula region, this tea produced in ideal soil type and climate offers balanced notes of chocolate, mild spice, and subtle citrus notes, with a naturally mellow, slightly sweet finish. It’s perfect for a strong morning cup, served plain or with milk. While this tea is mid-elevation, Sri Lanka also produces low grown teas with different flavor profiles.
High in antioxidants and with more caffeine than green tea or white tea, this black Ceylon tea delivers both taste and health benefits. It may support digestion and is a good option for those mindful of health concerns related to caffeine. Brew with hot water for a warming treat, or enjoy as a refreshing iced tea. The caffeine content is about half that of a typical cup of coffee.
Available in loose leaves or convenient tea bags, it’s a versatile favorite beverage to fill your teapot and sip throughout the day.
