Cameron Valley Premium Gold | Highest quality black tea from Cameron Highlands
Estimated delivery between 28 January and 04 February.
Origin:
This tea comes 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, established 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:
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 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, giving them a mild, nutty flavor.
Neatly packaged in a black and gold-colored tin can.
Flavor profile:
A mild and smooth black tea with a fresh and round taste, with a slight hint of nut and flowers. It almost never becomes bitter no matter how long it steeps.
How to brew the tea:
How to brew black tea:
