• Full bodied and flavory
We thoroughly scrutinize our decaffeinated teas to ensure that they stand up to North American Quality specifications. All of our decafs are processed using the Co2 Process. The advantage of this decaffeination process is that no chemical solvents can be used to remove the caffeine. Also, using the naturally occurring Co2 in a circulation process which carefully uses high pressure and temperature to extract the caffeine, the origin distinct character of the tea is retained in the cup. There is a slight change in the character of the tea due to the process but the end result is an uncompromising cup of tea with no chemical overtones.

We used Courtlodge estate for this estate decaf for several reasons. Courtlodge gives us the character we are looking for, a flavory and satisfying tea. Courtlodge is one of the top Ceylon tea estates for quality. We have visited Courtlodge and confirmed that they undertake proper manufacturing techniques, keep plucking standards high, and reinvest in the estate and its personnel; but most importantly, we have found that Courtlodge estate tea retains it's character under Co2 decaffeination processes much better than other teas we have tested.

Typically, quality of the tea is judged by hundreds of the tea tasters around the world. On a weekly basis raucous lively auctions are held in various producing countries where world prices are set. Tasters are looking for similar characteristics, so in the matter of a few seconds the value of the tea is established according to supply and demand functions and quality gradients.

• A bright tea with excellent flowery flavor
Lover's Leap (a western tea estate) is one of the best tea gardens in Sri Lanka. During its peak season (February - March) this estate's production is characterized by a delightful flavor that is astringent and lively. The best weather for producing quality tea is highlighted by cool nights, dry weather and bright sunny days. These force the tea bush to expend all its energies into the new growth leaves giving the tea its best flavour. During February and March, the cool moisture laden northeast monsoon winds after traveling across the Bay of Bengal "hit" the island. The winds rise as they cross the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka. As the air rises it cools and the moisture condenses giving rise to very wet on the east side of the central divide but dry and cool rain shadow on the western side. Not surprisingly, the western tea estates peak in quality. The top elevations of Lovers Leap very often are in the clouds. Regularly when you are at the peak you look down onto the clouds with brilliant sunshine and blue sky above. Lover Leap received it name because situated on the estate is a cliff where lovers would throw themselves over if they were jilted or they were not allowed to marry one another.

Not far from Lover's Leap is a lovely hotel/inn called "The Hill Club." The ambiance is circa 1910. Deep leather lounge chairs comfortably display 80 years of wear, windows are open and ramshackled shutters slap in the breeze and you are addressed as "The Master" and "The Madam." Before dinner you must don a dinner jacket and tie, polished black shoes (shorts with knee socks are ok), repose in the bar for a pre-dinner drink and discussion. After the second drink the maitre'd announces that dinner is served. Ladies enter the dining room first and are escorted to their reserved table; once the ladies are seated, the men are invited to enter and take their seats. The waiters wear white gloves and deftly handle the serving utensils as they serve each table. Wine is served and after sorbet a port is offered, followed by retirement to the bar for one last drink and cigar. The more adventurous will wander across the 17th fairway to the Nuwara Eliya Golf Club bar (careful of the snakes!) noisily closing the bar at 2:00 am.

This tea is a true Orange Pekoe grade. Interestingly, the term Orange Pekoe has little to do with quality as it is a size grading term. Orange Pekoe in true tea jargon stands for whole leaf. When you pour boiling water on this tea you will see how the leaf uncurls and expands quite dramatically, a process called "the agony of the leaf."
