2025 Seasonal Mountain Whisper – High Grown Ceylon Tea from High Forest Estate

Mountain Whisper is a rare high grown Ceylon tea that will make you rethink everything you know about teas from Sri Lanka’s hill country. Inspired by the seasonal, flavourful Ceylon teas your grandparents once cherished, this exceptional leaf captures the essence of true terroir. Light in body yet marked by an unmistakable tangy flavour, Mountain Whisper is the result of the perfect climatic conditions and expert, time-honoured tea-making techniques.

Grown at the historic High Forest Estate, founded in 1905 and nestled in the Kurundu Oya Valley of Uda Pussellawa, this tea takes its name from the towering High Forest Mountain — the sixth highest peak in Sri Lanka. The leaf for Mountain Whisper is carefully hand-picked at dawn from the upper slopes bordering the forest, where cool mists and mountain air create a unique, seasonal character. The freshly plucked leaves are swiftly withered at the estate’s factory to preserve their vibrancy and tang.

A refined choice for connoisseurs of single estate Ceylon tea, Mountain Whisper is best enjoyed with delicate afternoon pastries. Try pairing it with a slice of freshly baked lemon drizzle cake — a perfect complement to its bright, tangy notes.
