High Grown Long Leaf Premium Ceylon Black Tea
Nuwara Eliya & Dimbula
Delicate, bright, and beautifully balanced, high grown Ceylon black tea is prized for its elegance and clarity of flavour. Cultivated in the cool, mist covered highlands of Sri Lanka, these teas express a lighter, more nuanced character that has earned global recognition among tea connoisseurs.
At Élevé Réserve, we focus exclusively on high grown teas from Nuwara Eliya and Dimbula, two of Sri Lanka’s most respected tea growing regions. Our long leaf Ceylon teas are carefully selected to reflect the purity, altitude, and craftsmanship that define these iconic origins.
About Our High-Grown Ceylon Tea
Grown at elevations typically above 1,200 metres, teas from Nuwara Eliya and Dimbula benefit from cooler temperatures, fresh mountain air, and slow leaf growth. These conditions allow flavour to develop gradually, resulting in teas that are bright, aromatic, and exceptionally clean on the palate.
Our teas are made using traditional orthodox production methods, preserving the natural structure of the long leaves and allowing their character to unfold fully during brewing. Expect a refined cup with notes of fresh citrus, light florals, gentle fruit and soft malt, finished with a crisp, refreshing brightness.
Naturally high in caffeine yet never heavy, high-grown Ceylon tea offers an uplifting brew that feels both energising and elegant.
Nuwara Eliya & Dimbula Two Expressions, One Standard
Though neighbouring regions, Nuwara Eliya and Dimbula each bring their own personality to the cup.
- Nuwara Eliya teas are often lighter in colour and delicately perfumed, with floral notes and a refined, almost champagne like character.
- Dimbula teas tend to be slightly fuller bodied, offering gentle citrus brightness and a smooth, rounded finish.
Together, they represent the finest expression of high grown Ceylon tea, elegant, balanced, and unmistakably distinctive.
High grown Ceylon tea is best enjoyed when brewed thoughtfully (please see our brewing guide). Use freshly drawn water and allow the leaves time to release their delicate character.
It can be enjoyed black to appreciate its natural brightness (our recommendation), or with a splash of milk for a softer, more rounded cup. Its clean profile makes it ideal for morning refreshment, afternoon clarity, or a refined iced tea.
By focusing solely on high-grown teas from Nuwara Eliya and Dimbula, we celebrate a style of Ceylon tea defined by altitude, restraint, and elegance. Every cup reflects the climate, landscape, and skilled hands behind the harvest.
This is Ceylon black tea at its most refined honest, expressive, and quietly exceptional.
Our high grown Ceylon tea is available in both loose leaf form and tea bags (using plant based materials), offering flexibility without compromise.
Loose leaf allows the long leaves to unfurl naturally, delivering maximum aroma and depth. Our tea bags are designed with breathable, compostable materials, giving the leaves space to infuse properly while offering everyday convenience.
Whichever format you choose, the experience remains true to the origin, pure, expressive, and carefully handled at every stage.
