Nestled among lush green highlands and majestic waterfalls is Sri Lanka's world
renowned
Kenilworth Tea Estate. Teas from this estate have fetched top prices at the Colombo auctions for decades.
The Kenilworth OP (orange Pekoe grade), in fact, holds the record for the highest price paid in the 125 year history of
the Colombo auctions.
This 700 acre estate sits at an elevation of 3,000 to 4,000 feet, and borders the districts of Dimbulla
and Kandy. Tea plants of this estate enjoy the seasonal monsoons. Select tender leaves are picked after the
first monsoon and processed during cooler weather. The result is a tea with the smoothness of
a great Ceylon and an intriguing creamy character unique to this estate.
