The scents of native vegetation also help produce what is widely regarded as the best teas.

Nuwara Eliya teas are grown beneath Sri Lanka's highest mountain, Pidurutalagala, (Mount Pedro). Gardens flourished here from the 1870s when they were widely appreciated for the delicate character of their teas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe teas are subtly golden in colour and are some of the world's most delightful.

It is the epitome of a classic Ceylon tea to be drunk in the afternoon. Ceylon Lovers' Leap comes from the famous Pedro garden estate, established in 1885. It is located at an altitude between 5000 and 8000 feet, close to one of the highest and most beautiful waterfalls in Sri Lanka which descends some thirty metres. This medium bodied tea has a mid-size leaf having a beautifully light and fragrant aroma. In the cup it is biscuity and floral with a brisk character; a perfect tea for the afternoon. Use one rounded teaspoon per cup and one for the pot with freshly boiling water and infuse for five minutes. Best without milk.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eThe name Lovers' Leap arises from a local prince that reputedly fell in love with a local girl of lowly status.
