Ceylon Black Tea has a well-earned reputation. It’s grown in the misty foothills of Sri Lanka, but the leaves actually derive from Chinese camellia sinensis, shipped to the spice islands in the 1800s.
Ceylon Black Tea (OPA) – Bulk
$4.80 – $9.60
Description
It’s a bold, coppery brew – stiffer and darker than Darjeeling, but more mellow than a classic Assam.
You won’t find those hoppy base-tones in Ceylon Tea, which makes it the perfect foundation for an English Breakfast blend: packed with potassium, antioxidants and caffeine (for that early morning pick-me-up).
We like seeping Black Ceylon solo, mixed with a little lemon or honey, but it matches well with any floral, fruity flavours.
Origin: Sri Lanka.
Ingredients: Black Tea.
Serving Suggestion: Add 1-2 teaspoons and brew in 90-95ºC water for 3 minutes. Serve hot, or chill with fresh fruit over ice.
