I agree... to a point. I believe that most of the generic 'hotel teas' such as Lipton, Salada, Red Rose, etc., are made from the orange pekoe and pekoe cut black grades of the lower grown Ceylons.
But once you start going up the hill (about 2,000 meters,) and get teas harvested between June and September, the tea develops flavors not even suggested by its cousins in the valleys below. Trust me...
Try it. You'll like it.
