Ceylon Tea is a popular type of black tea that is also known as Sri Lankan tea. While Ceylon is known for its bold flavor, it can vary significantly in taste, depending on the type of tea and where it's grown in the country.
The world-renowned Uva region lies to the verdant east of Sri Lanka’s mountainous heart, at an altitude of 3000 to 4000 feet. During the monsoon winds of July and August, sunny days and cooler nights have a drying action that makes the teas exceptionally fragrant and full flavoured.
This particular grade of tea is an Orange Pekoe 1, with its characteristic thin and wiry leaf appearance. We have specially selected it for its light body and refreshingly sweet, delicate taste.
