Sitting proudly above the town of Nuwara Eliya, Lovers Leap Tea Estate is steeped in tradition and legend. The Nuwara Eliya district is famed for producing the “Champagne of Ceylon teas”. The estate bears the name from the tragic tale of a young couple that leapt off a waterfall on the estate.
Lovers’ Leap teas are reputed for their delicate and elegant characteristics. The estate is home not only to tea, moreover, the abundance of eucalyptus, cypress trees and wild mint bushes give the air a pleasant mentholated fragrance. The tea absorbs the fragrances and when infused it bears a remarkable golden, light green infusion. The flavours are bright, crisp and clean with a pleasant mentholated undertone on the back pallet.
