Lovers Leap OP - Premium Ceylon Black Tea NZ

This whole-leaf Ceylon tea, from the historic Lovers Leap made by Pedro Tea Estate, reveals golden amber hues and a mellow bouquet. Expect honeyed malt, zesty citrus, and whispers of spice on the finish. Equally delightful taken plain or with milk and perfect for late morning through afternoon, it is a refined and refreshing cup rooted in high-grown Sri Lankan tradition.

Lovers Leap OP is a fine Ceylon black tea from the cloud-swept heights of the Nuwara Eliya district. Grown at over 6,000 feet, its terroir imparts a unique balance of briskness and subtle complexity. The long leaves steep to a golden amber liquor with honey, citrus, and biscuit notes, and just a whisper of spice. Its whole-leaf OP grade ensures a graceful infusion, while the light astringency lends freshness. Rich in antioxidants and steeped in history, this elegant tea reflects the quiet majesty of its origins.

Story behind the name Lovers Leap

The name “Lovers Leap” for the estate, and its iconic waterfall, comes from a poignant local legend over three centuries old:

On a rocky precipice about 30m high, near the tea fields above Nuwara Eliya, a young Kandyan prince fell in love with a local village girl. Their union was forbidden, likely due to differences in caste or status. Pursued by royal soldiers, the lovers chose to leap together from the cliff rather than face separation, binding their fate in death.
