About The Kirkoswald Tea Estate This garden lies in the Dimbula district of Central Province, Sri Lanka, some 1,300 metres above sea level. Two partners named Kirk and Oswald developed the estate in the mid-19th century following the devastation of the local Coffee industry. They remained the owners until their passing in the late 1800s. Their legacy, however, has lived on in remarkable beverages such as this one. In recent years, Kirkoswald has won awards for the best Pekoe and FBOP from Dimbula. The latter term, in particular, stands for “Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe,” which is a Tea grade of many noteworthy qualities. Perhaps most importantly, the fact that manufacturers have broken up its leaves into slightly smaller pieces enables it to boast a stronger flavour when brewed.
