It is supposed to be one of the coolest places in the Island, but it is really just like an English spring day, although the temperature does drop at night. All around Nuwara Eliya you will see evidence of the British influence, houses like country cottages or Queen Ann style mansions. Tea is the most widely-consumed beverage in the world. It has a cooling, slightly bitter, astringent flavor which many enjoy. There are six varieties of tea; white, yellow, green, oolong, black and pu-erh of which the most commonly found on the market are white, green, oolong and black. All tea are made from the same bushes but processed differently, and in the case of fine white tea, grown differently. Puerh tea, a post-fermented tea, is also often used medicinally.
