Description
Black tea from Sri Lanka. In colonial times, this island-nation was known as Ceylon. This name is still used to describe all teas grown here. Ceylon tea is bright and lively, with a wonderfully delicate flavor. Our 'Ceylon Sonata' is the finest grade tea from the renowned Kenilworth estate, located in Sri Lanka's Kandy region. The perfect afternoon tea.
Story
Ceylon is the old name of Sri Lanka. And all the tea that is grown here is still referred to as such. Most of the plantations are located in the hills, south of Kandy. The most famous tea-growing regions are all in the highlands: Dimbula, Uva and Nuwara Eliya. The high-grown teas, those cultivated above 4000 feet, tend to be superior to the lower-grown varieties. Ceylon's finer qualities - delicate flavor and sweet aroma - are typically found in its high-grown teas.
"ce thé est définitivement bon mais je le préfere mélanger avec une autre sorte de thé comme par exemple pepermint ou jasmin."
"This is a tasty black tea with the right amount of flavor. Even when steeped too long (by accident), it still tastes great."
"This tea was neither AMAZING or Blah. So I placed it in the middle. It was a good tea with enough flavor, but not one I would probably keep stocked at all times in my cupboard."
"Mild black tea that's easy to brew how you prefer it. Want bite? Steep for as long or longer than the tin says. Want it milder? Infuse for a shorter time frame."
"Really love this tea!! Excellent everyday tea. The taste is great!"
"A nice tea for days I want 'plain' tea. It's not too bold yet not boring. "
