Darjeeling
Commercial production of tea dates back to 1852. Today there are 86 Tea Estates producing approx. 10,000 metric tons of tea anually. It is one of the most popular names in the tea industry.

Ceylon
Ceylon tea from Sri Lanka is often acclaimed as the best tea in the world. The climate of this small and exotic country is ideally suited to producing a variety of delightful flavors and aromas. Ceylon tea is a pure, high quality tea with a distinctive, rich flavor and a bright golden color. Further, Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, produces the cleanest teas in the world in terms of pesticide residue levels. Dr. P.D. Collier, Chairman of the European Tea Technical Committee, told an international forum in Columbo that the level of pesticide residue in Sri Lankan teas (Ceylon Teas) are of no consequence, and are insignificant when compared with other tea producing countries.

Sri Lanka produces tea throughout the year, and the growing areas are mainly concentrated in the central highlands and southern inland areas of the island. Ceylon teas are broadly grouped under three headings according to the elevations at which they are grown. “High growns” are grown at elevations ranging from 1200 meters upwards, “medium growns” between 600 and 1200 meters, and “low growns” from sea level up to 600 meters.

High grown teas from Sri Lanka are particularly reputed for their aroma, rich flavor, and bright golden color.

Kenya
Kenya is known as the tea capital of the world, exporting more tea than anywhere else in the world including India, China and Sri Lanka.

The center of tea production in Kenya is Kericho, located 7000 feet above sea level. It has the perfect climate for cultivating large amounts of high quality tea because of it's high ground temperature and also it's high rainfall levels, caused by the close proximity of Lake Victoria.

The climate at Kericho is special because it allows tea to be picked all year round. In fact, tea is picked here every 17 days rather than the first and second flush picking elsewhere in the world.

Kenyan tea has a unique body and taste which helps to give it's full-bodied appeal. Most of the famous black English teas come from Kenya and are then exported to England, blended with other teas and then packaged.
