Ceylon Teas: A Small Island With Big Bold Flavors

The tropical island of Sri Lanka is the home of rich, bold teas. Teas from this island claim the moniker of its former name, Ceylon.

Sri Lanka’s unique terroir (influences of climate and soil) provides for three styles of tea, determined by altitude: low-grown, medium-grown and high-grown. Individually, each of these teas develops a characteristic flavor profile. Sri Lanka grows and produces a huge amount of tea. Because of its unique climate, the island can produce tea throughout most of the year.  

The English and Scottish first brought tea plants to Ceylon in the 1830s. Black tea became the island’s dominant crop later in the 1870s when disease took out the island’s coffee industry. Luckily, the newly planted tea continued to thrive and became the island’s main export.

Ceylon black teas are bold! If you like black tea with milk and sugar you probably already love Ceylons. Enjoy iced tea? That’s very likely a brisk Ceylon as well. While much of Sri Lanka’s tea production is black tea, green and white teas are also produced. Plants grown in the island’s highest elevations create teas with exceptional body and flavor profile.

Ceylon Black Tea – Extra Fancy

Ceylon Extra Fancy Black Tea

This is one of the boldest black teas we offer. Complex, valiant aromas of malt and red wine give way to equally complex flavors of rich spices, red fruits, tobacco and pronounced tannins. The malty lingering aftertaste adds to the assertiveness.
