Ceylon Tea Tasting From Colombo

(SKU: LK7C00341F) The Sri Lankan tea Industry has surely come a very long way for almost two centuries now. While once when the tea went on to be a commercial success in the island, Ceylon Tea was soon in the limelight as one of the world’s finest due to its unique taste and variety. Marked as one of the cleanest teas in the world, Ceylon Tea does not contain any artificial flavours or harmful pesticide.

The Ceylon Tea Tasting Experience with Lakpura invites all tea lovers for an interactive and guided experience which will last about one hour. A special briefing is done about the Orthodox Tea Manufacturing process which is the traditional method used in Sri Lanka. The orthodox Method includes withering, pre-conditioning, rolling, green leaf sifting, fermentation, drying, grading, sorting and packing. Our tea taster will explain the entire process along with photos and multimedia while allowing various specialty teas to brew and infuse. Once this is done, guests will learn to identify and also appreciate the unique flavor profiles that give different teas their distinctive qualities.

Sri Lanka is truly blessed with a varied geography while the tea country of Sri Lanka is divided into strictly defined regions which are known for producing teas that boasts of its own character. There are seven districts (regions) while all of these exude unique combinations of terrain as well as climatic conditions that directly influence the tea that is grown. Sample teas from all these seven regions are available for tasting at the Studio.
