Ceylon Black

Ceylon tea is a classic black tea from Sri Lanka. Its name derives from the island nation's name from its colonial era, Ceylon. All the tea grown there is branded with the same name. Our unique blend is from the renowned Kenilworth Estate, located in Sri Lanka's Kandy region. Ceylon tea is a bright, lively, medium body, with a delightful tanginess. It is the perfect afternoon tea with a fresh citrusy aroma and sweet juicy notes like a mandarin peel or grapefruit with a refreshing taste and balanced astringency.

A bright, fruity aroma. Full-bodied yet light with mild astringency. It can be enjoyed with or without milk.

For brewing black teas, we recommend using higher temperature water, close to or just before boiling (190 - 200 F), with a proportion of one teaspoon of leaf per 8 oz. of water.
