Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon produces mainly black, or fully oxidized teas. The island nation of Sri Lanka is small, but she benefits from a perfect geography with an enviable microclimate that produces a complex set of temperature, moisture and wind, so the flavours and character of the teas produced vary greatly. Roleaf’s Black Tea is sourced from Nuwara Eliya, the best-known of Sri Lanka’s tea-growing districts. It is the most mountainous, and has the highest average elevation. Combined with low temperature, this region produces very exquisite teas.

Roleaf Rose Petals are grown in the foothills of the Himalayas in Pakistan. Pakistan is a country of small farming households, where floriculture is the best option of enhancing the income of the underprivileged. These brightly colored blooms can be grown throughout the year with the suitable warm climate. Throughout the Arab world, rose petals are used in savory meals including stews, rice, roasts, couscous and fish.
