Description
Blender’s Notes Nayapane Estate ~ Sri Lanka FBOP:
The Kandy region of Sri Lanka stands as a sanctuary for tea enthusiasts, offering a unique blend of history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. Renowned worldwide, Kandy has played a pivotal role in shaping the legacy of Ceylon tea.
The Historical Roots of Tea in Kandy ~ The story of tea in Kandy dates back to the 19th century, during the British colonial era. It was during this period that numerous tea plantations were established, marking the beginning of Kandy’s journey as a significant contributor to the global tea market. Prior to the introduction of tea, the local economy was primarily agricultural. However, the advent of tea cultivation transformed the region, as Kandy’s fertile soil and favorable climate proved to be ideal for growing tea. This development propelled Kandy into international prominence, making it synonymous with high-quality Ceylon teas.
Cultural and Economic Significance ~ Kandy’s reputation for producing exceptional Ceylon tea extends beyond economics; the tea plantations are deeply woven into the cultural fabric of the region. These plantations are not only vital sources of livelihood but also serve as enduring symbols of the region’s rich history and traditions. Characterized by lush greenery, rolling hills, and the fragrant atmosphere created by tea bushes, the plantations form an iconic landscape that defines Kandy.
Nayapane Estate FBOP: A Distinctive Ceylon Tea ~ Among the notable teas produced in Kandy is the FBOP (Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe) variety from Nayapane Estate. This high-quality grade of black tea is distinguished by its slightly wiry, twisted broken leaves, often interspersed with silvery tips. Known for its quick brewing and rich aromatic profile, FBOP yields a reddish liquor that is mellow and flavorful. Appreciated for its robust character, this tea is versatile—enjoyed both plain and sweetened—and remains a favorite among tea drinkers.
