Ceylon Black Tea

Description

Ceylon Black Tea – a classic with history

Ceylon Black Tea has a long and fascinating history dating back to the 19th century. The first tea plantations in present-day Sri Lanka were established by the Scottish planter James Taylor and laid the foundation for one of the world’s most famous tea origins.

Today, Ceylon tea is appreciated worldwide for its distinctive aroma and balanced character.

Tea from the highlands of Sri Lanka

The finest Ceylon teas grow in the highlands of Sri Lanka at elevations above 1,200 metres. The special climate and fertile soils give the tea its fresh, aromatic and slightly lively flavour.
