Our Review

Kenilworth is one of the oldest tea estates in Sri Lanka. Halfway up the Central Highlands, Kenilworth is considered a " Medium Grown" tea so the weather there is moderate, not as hot as down in the plains, but not cool like in the peaks. Kenilworth is the western tea section, known as "Dimbula". This estate is always a joy to visit. Everything is neat and tidy, unlike most tea estates. All of this helps to explain why the estate makes full leaf tea and that it is wonderfully mellow.

Kenilworth OP is my favorite tea for breakfast.

Average Review:

Kenilworth has become my favorite tea for breakfast. I enjoy it's briskness and aroma. It is especially good sweetened with honey.

Danyelle 1/10/13

Vegetal

Average Review:

'Mellow' was my immediate thought when I first sipped this blend. Kenilworth has a smooth and soft body.Though,I did not find the flavor very appealing.By the end of the cup I determined that is tasted very similar to snap peas. If you enjoy a vegetal, earthy brew, this is perfect.While I was not fond of the taste I found it to be of great quality and worth trying.

Smooth

Average Review:

Smooth, with no bite at all; pleasant liquor like a fine Cognac or Armagnac.

Tom 12/3/12

Smooth

Average Review:

Nice medium body for anytime, but to me, the most compelling characteristic is the smooth character, much like a very good Cognac or Armagnac.

Ryan 9/20/11

A sweetly smooth tea

Average Review:

This tea has a light, vegetal aroma that reminds me of cooked green beans. The taste is very smooth and bright, with a sweet aftertaste that seems to linger for awhile between sips. It is not very dry at all and I only taste a hint of smokiness. It has a very nice, smooth liquor and goes well with a little cream and sugar, though they are not necessary to appreciate this tea’s flavor.

Light and Lovely

Average Review:

On winter mornings we drink East Frisian, but in the summer, we absolutely love the Kenilworth OP. It is aromatic, light & lovely. Doesn't have the astringency of most Ceylons.

JJ 1/19/11

Not my favorite but not bad

Average Review:

It's what I consider a light tea. It has a pleasant flavor, medium color, is not bitter or astringent. Smooth and light. I prefer a dark, Irish breakfast-type tea for afternoons. But I'm trying as many teas as Harney has samples for, just to broaden my tea experiences!
