Leaf Dryer Mouth
When making Natural tea, the leaf is fed into the top of the tea dryer, shifted back and forth along the length of the drying bed and exited beneath the "dryer mouth" of the tea dryer.
Natural tea - The leaf stock
used is plucked from a special sub-genus of Camellia Sinensis that
peaks in flavor during February. Finished tea is made by halting
production half way through the CTC cycle, (Cut Tear & Curl), as
leaf comes out of the dryer. The resulting cup is wonderfully rich, raw
and flavory, typically with deep notes of sweet malt - an innovative
development in African tea.
Unlike most single estate loose leaf teas, Natural Tea is produced and
shipped in an un-graded state. As such a typical Natural Tea is
comprised of every grade normally produced by the Estate. This might
range from the intense robust Dust grades right up to the more mildly
flavored Pekoe grades. The subsequent blending of leaf character, all
from one Estate origin, produces a cup that is rich, exceptionally
rounded and tasteful.
Natural Teas are grown on Estates that use no herbicides or pesticides.
All are FairTrade except for the Ceylon Black Dryer Mouth Pedro Estate
