We’re proud to introduce a remarkable new black tea to the MDTea collection – Devagiri OP1, produced at the historic Devagiri Estate in Sri Lanka. This isn’t just another fine tea. By buying direct from Devagiri, MDTea ensures your purchase supports a “farm to table” model that cuts out the middlemen, so more of the value goes back to the people who grow and pick the leaves. It’s about dignity, fair reward, and traceability – without changing the price you pay. And the tea itself? Long, wiry OP1 leaves unfurl into a light copper liquor with soft malty sweetness, lifted by a clean, refreshing finish. Elegant, nuanced, and unmistakably Sri Lankan. Taste the difference – and be part of the change. Interested? Here's a little more detail: Produced at the historic Devagiri Tea Estate in Yakkalamulla, just inland from Galle, this OP1 black tea is crafted using the traditional orthodox method – a process that preserves the integrity of the leaf and highlights its natural character. The leaves are long and wiry, with a delicate fragrance that speaks of the lush Sri Lankan hillsides where they are grown. When brewed, the liquor shines a light coppery hue and offers a gentle balance of flavour: a soft malty sweetness, lifted by a clean and refreshing finish. As an OP1 grade tea, Devagiri represents the finer end of Ceylon black teas – elegant, nuanced, and ideal for those who appreciate subtlety over strength. It is best enjoyed on its own to savour the layers of aroma and taste, though its light body makes it equally suitable for pairing with a mid-morning pastry or afternoon cake. For the perfect cup, steep at 95°C for 3–5 minutes, allowing the wiry leaves to unfurl slowly and release their fragrant notes. A tea to linger over – refined, uplifting, and unmistakably Sri Lankan.
