This is the perfect way to try Cameron Valley's flavorful teas. Their teas taste much better than the majority of the teas we find on the Swedish market. If you like a particular variety very much, you can then order a whole box with just that variety - we will take that in eventually, but first we are testing the demand for the different flavors with this box. Perfect to give as a gift or Christmas present!
Origin:
These teas come from the Malaysian highlands: Cameron Highlands . The Cameron Highlands is a highland area in the Malaysian mountains that was discovered by the British in the late 19th century. They established a base there for experiments in cultivation and agriculture and eventually began to establish extensive tea plantations in the hilly landscape - at the same time they built and settled in classic British cottages, laid out golf courses and other necessary for a British life in the mountains.
This particular producer is called Cameron Valley and they only grow so-called highland tea , i.e. tea that comes from the highest altitudes in the area - unlike other producers in the area who blend their teas with tea grown in the lowlands, so-called lowland tea . Tea grown in the highlands is often more flavorful thanks to the cooler temperature that causes the bushes to grow more slowly, which means that the nutritional content is produced in a more compact structure in the leaves.
The founder of Cameron Valley, Shuparshad Bansal Agarwal, established the plantations in the 1920s during the British Empire. The company managed to grow alongside the British tea players in the hills and also survived the Japanese occupation during World War II, then flourished after Malaysia's declaration of independence. The business began as a supplier of tea leaves in large quantities to leading Malaysian and international brands, before forming its own retail brand in 1994: Cameron Valley , which today stands for some of the most drunk teas in the country. Cameron Valley has several cafes up in the hills where you can go to sample their teas and see their tea plantations.
The teas have only been available on the Malaysian market until now, as they have not worked with exports before. What you see here is the company's first impression on the European market. I believe that their high-quality teas and interesting history can make them a popular and original brand in Europe.
Distinctive features:
Cameron Valley's flavoured teas are very tasty which usually gives a very positive surprise when you try them for the first time. They also have flavours that can otherwise be difficult to get hold of in Europe, e.g. Lychee - maybe a future favourite? They also have flavourful Strawberry tea, Orange, Blackcurrant, Durian and their Earl Grey tastes better than most Earl Grey in bags you find on the market here in Sweden.
This tea is made from 100% so-called highland tea, i.e. tea grown at high altitudes (unlike other producers in the country who often mix their teas with lowland tea. Tea grown at high altitudes is often more nutritious and therefore also more flavorful than tea grown at lower altitudes. This is due to slower growth up in the cooler mountains, which causes the nutrients to accumulate in more compact structures in the leaves.
The tea grade is called Orange Pekoe and is made from the bud and the 2 closest lower leaves - this results in a fresh and delicate taste with a low level of bitterness.
Cameron Valley's teas are traditionally dried slowly on wooden surfaces, giving them a mild, nutty flavor.
Flavor profile:
Clearly flavored black teas. You can feel that the bags are made from high-quality tea with its fresh and invigorating underlying taste of black tea. It is difficult to find flavored tea bags on the Swedish market that taste as much and also provide the energy boost that tea is supposed to do.
How to brew the tea:
How to brew black tea:
-
Choose your flavor : Since these are bag teas, you just need to choose which flavor you want to drink today and pour it into your favorite cup. There is no easier way to start your morning.
-
Add water : Pour hot 95°C water over your tea bag in the cup.
-
Steep according to taste : Depending on your taste, you can either let the tea steep for 2-3 minutes or simply leave the bag in while you drink. It won't get bitter.
-
Taste and enjoy : Add milk to taste and enjoy a tasty and rich cup of tea. 🍵🍃
Tip: For those of you who are on a keto diet or similar and like to have milk in your tea, you can mix almond milk with cream, it gives a flavor that is at least as good and even richer than regular milk.
