Origin
Origin
Harrington Estate is a certified organic single-estate black tea from Harrington Estate, located in the Dimbula region of Sri Lanka (Kotagala) — a highland tea district known for bright, expressive Ceylon teas. This estate values traditional, manual plucking by skilled pickers, emphasising careful leaf selection and orthodox processing that supports flavour development and quality.
Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
This tea brews to a rich, coppery liquor with woodsy and malted notes characteristic of mid-grown Ceylon teas. The mouthfeel is full-bodied and smooth, leaving a rounded, creamy sensation that lingers on the palate. A subtle floral lift and gentle spice contribute to its balanced character, making it a versatile black tea both plain and with milk.
This tea’s profile is classic for Sri Lankan orthodox black teas: it’s comforting and brisk, with a palate that remains approachable throughout the cup.
This tea pairs well with richly flavoured breakfasts, eggs, and meat dishes (e.g., beef, lamb, chicken), but its rounded, creamy texture also makes it enjoyable by itself or with light accompaniments.
