Cameron Valley Premium Gold | Highest quality black tea from Cameron Highlands
Estimated delivery to you: 27 July to 03 August.
200g high-quality black tea in an exclusive package.
Origin:
This tea comes from the Malaysian highlands: Cameron Highlands. Cameron Highlands is a highland area in the Malaysian mountains discovered by the British in the late 1800s. They established a base there for experiments in cultivation and farming and eventually began planting extensive tea plantations in the hilly landscape – while building and settling in classic British cottages, creating golf courses, and other necessities for a British lifestyle in the mountains.
This particular producer is called Cameron Valley, and they cultivate only so-called highland tea, meaning tea that comes from the highest altitudes in the area – unlike other producers in the region who mix their teas with tea grown in the lowlands, so-called lowland tea. Tea grown in the highlands is often more flavorful due to the cooler temperatures, which cause the bushes to grow more slowly, allowing nutrients to accumulate 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 era. The company managed to grow alongside the British tea operators in the mountains and also survived the Japanese occupation during the Second World War, later flourishing 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 consumed teas in the country. Cameron Valley has several cafés up in the mountains where one can go to taste their teas and see their tea plantations.
Cameron Valley has until now only been available on the Malaysian market, as they have not worked with export before. What you see here is thus the brand’s first footprint on the European market. I believe their high-quality teas and interesting history can make them a popular and original brand in Europe.
Distinctive features:
This tea is made from 100% so-called highland tea, meaning 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 nutrient-rich and therefore also more flavorful than tea grown at lower altitudes. This is due to slower growth in the cooler mountains, which causes 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 two nearest lower leaves – this results in a fresh and delicate taste with a low level of bitterness. This exclusive blend contains a large proportion of (golden) buds and is in powdered form, which gives a more powerful brew.
Cameron Valley’s teas are traditionally dried slowly on wooden surfaces, which gives a mild, nutty taste.
Neatly packaged in a black and gold-colored tin. Suitable as a gift or for everyday tea.
Flavor profile:
A mild and soft black tea with a fresh and rounded taste, with slight notes of nut and flower. Minimal bitterness even during longer brewing times.
How to brew the tea:
Here is how to brew black tea:
-
Measure the tea: Measure about 1 teaspoon of powdered tea per cup (200 ml) or adjust the amount to taste. Use a tea strainer or similar.
-
Brew the tea: Pour hot water (about 95°C) over the tea directly in a cup or teapot.
-
Let steep: Let the tea steep for 1–2 minutes or longer depending on how strong you want it.
-
Flavor and enjoy: Optionally add milk to taste and enjoy a full-bodied cup of tea!
Tip: For those on a keto diet or similar who like to have milk in their tea, you can mix almond milk with cream; it gives an equally good and even richer taste than regular milk.
