Sri Lanka (originally called Ceylon) has been producing quality teas for centuries. It is estimated that around 4 percent of Sri Lanka is covered by tea plantations. Different climates, regions and elevations (from low altitudes of 0 -2,000 ft. above sea level to 6,200 ft. above sea level) contribute to the unique characteristics and varieties of Ceylon tea. Although there are regional nuances, classic Ceylon flavor is typically bold, full and brisk with notes of citrus, chocolate or spice. Ceylon black tea is one of Sri Lanka’s most celebrated specialties and is a favored beverage around the globe. Enjoy it plain or experiment with milk, lemon, honey or sugar.
