About Vithanakande Estate Ceylon OP

The Vithanakande estate produces a distinctly richer Ceylon than many other Sri Lankan origins. Where the Kenilworth is bright and brisk, Vithanakande leans toward a fuller, rounder body with a malty sweetness and velvety finish. It's exceptional on its own and transforms beautifully with milk.

  • Origin: Vithanakande Estate, Sri Lanka
  • Grade: OP (Orange Pekoe) — whole leaf
  • Flavor notes: Full-bodied, malty sweetness, smooth velvety finish
  • Caffeine: Medium-high (~50–70 mg per cup)
  • Brew temp: 200–212°F
  • Steep time: 3–5 minutes
  • Pairs with: Whole milk or cream, honey, classic biscuits

Brewing Vithanakande Ceylon

Steep 1 tsp in 8 oz of freshly boiled water (200–212°F) for 3–5 minutes. This tea shines with a splash of full-fat milk — the creaminess rounds out the malt beautifully. For a stronger morning cup, add a second teaspoon and steep 4–5 minutes.
