Tea of Life® fine teas have been selected from the highland tea gardens of Sri Lanka – formerly known as Ceylon. Tea of Life® offers the advantage of being processed using the Orthodox, or Traditional, method of tea processing whereby the tea is rolled gradually. The gradual rolling process allows the sap to be extracted from the leaves so they may be subjected to a lighter maceration which allows for gentle oxidation of the tea enzymes. So, what does all this mean? By using the Orthodox method of processing - Tea of Life® offers superior quality, taste, freshness and flavor along with natural flavors selected to compliment Tea of Life's fine teas.
