How about a muffin with Cup of Heladiv?
From the Archives - Tea buyers tasting and auctioning Ceylon tea at a tea factory in Sri Lanka. The methods and processes used in Tea Tasting remains the same to this day.
Tea Tips
PRIDE OF CEYLON
We at Heladiv take pride in presenting ‘Pride of Ceylon’ tea in its finest form bringing you the experience of flavor that the most discerning consumer would appreciate. Our team of master blenders tax their knowledge and experience to create this exceptional tea variety. Heladiv Pride of Ceylon is enjoyed ideally with a dash of milk with or without sweetener.
KANDY
Mid grown Kandy teas tend to produce a relatively bright fusion with a coppery tone. Though lighter in the cup, they present a good deal of strength and body, though not as much as a the lower-grown products of Ruhuna. Most Kandy-district estates lie on the western slopes of the hills, so their taste is influenced by the ‘western quality season’ meaning that the best tea is produced during the first quarter of the year, when cool, dry weather sets in across this region.

UVA
The Uva region produces a leaf that is more blackened when processed than that of any other district. The desiccated monsoon wind in the region disrupts normal photosynthesis in the tea plant, while the hot days and cold nights bring about chemical changes that improve the ‘nose’ and flavor. It results in tea of a pungent, slightly mentholated character, different from that produced at any other time of year.

NUWARA ELIYA
High altitude and year-round low temperature produce a very slow-growing bush with unusually small leaves that take on an orange hue – just a hint against the blackness – after withering. The infused leaf acquires a greenish-yellow tone, and the infusion in the cup is the palest among all the regional varieties of Ceylon Tea, with a subtle golden hue and a delicate yet fragrant bouquet.
