New Vithanakande Estate FBOPF Extra-Special Silvertip "Spider Leg" Tea from Sri Lanka
Edwards Premium Tea brings you the New Vithanakande Estate FBOPF Extra-Special Silvertip "Spider Leg" Tea from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) -- a fine, rare, hand-finished tea with unusual aroma and flavor... chocolates and roses come to mind when you smell the dry leaf; the infusion has good body, and the flavor lingers long after you take a sip.
This is the best of the special group of teas from Sri Lanka's Ratnapura district -- high-grown Ceylon teas, such as those from Nuwara Eliya, may be more famous, but these intriguing Ratnapura teas deserve your attention too, especially if you like a lot of aroma and flavor with a subtle but lasting caffeine boost. The leaf-grade initials (often written FBOPF Ex-Sp) might seem to indicate a lower grade of tea, but this special grade, despite technically being a broken-leaf grade, is absolutely splendid!
Mike Harney explains the manufacture and qualities of this tea beautifully on pages 156-157 of his book, The Harney & Sons Guide to Tea.
