      Blackwood Tea Estate is located in the Bogawantalwa Valley in the Dimbula region of Western Sri Lanka. This certified Organic tea is grown at an elevation of up to 4,500 ft. above sea level. These deep chestnut hued Pekoe leaves steep to a bright copper-colored cup. Distinct citrus notes, medium body & clean, brisk character are hallmarks of this highly valued black tea.
