About Ceylon tea
Ceylon tea refers to teas from the growing regions of Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon. In altitudes between 1,000 and 2,000 meters, aromatic, flavourful teas grow. Ceylon teas are known for their medium-bodied, tangy, slightly malty, and fresh taste, often reminiscent of citrus fruits. Harvesting depends on the monsoon rains: where it doesn’t rain, harvesting occurs – in the island's centre year-round. Sri Lanka is one of the world's largest tea exporters, and Ceylon tea is a main component of many English blends.
Cultivation
This tea originates from the steep hills of the Nuwara Eliya Estate, where it is grown at an altitude of 8,000 feet above sea level. The Nuwara Eliya Estate is in one of Sri Lanka's most renowned tea-growing regions. The cool mountain air and mineral-rich soil contribute to the development of the unique flavour profile. The tea leaves are carefully picked and handled by hand to ensure the highest quality.
Effects
Ceylon tea is known for its revitalizing effect. It contains moderate amounts of caffeine, which can boost your alertness and concentration. It is also rich in antioxidants, which help to fight free radicals and strengthen your immune system. The subtle orange note of this tea provides a refreshing taste experience that is both energizing and relaxing.
How to enjoy
Whether in the morning to start the day full of energy or in the afternoon as a refreshing break, enjoy this first-class Ceylon Orange Pekoe black tea pure or with a dash of milk to bring out the rich flavours fully. It goes perfectly with fine pastries, fresh fruit, or a light meal.
