Blend with ceylon black tea →The benefits
Why we love ceylon black tea
Bright and brisk
Ceylon tea is lighter and livelier than Assam, with a clean, citrusy snap that makes a refreshing everyday cup.
Naturally caffeinated
Like all black tea, Ceylon naturally contains caffeine, making it a crisp start to the morning.
Lovely iced
Its clear, bright cup stays clean and sparkling when chilled, which makes it a classic choice for iced tea.
Good to know
Flags: Caffeine.
Contains caffeine. Not suitable for children.
Sri Lanka was a coffee island until a leaf fungus ravaged its plantations in the 1870s. A Scottish planter, James Taylor, had already set out tea at Loolecondera estate in 1867, and within a few decades tea covered the hills. The island was renamed in 1972, but its tea still carries the old name, Ceylon.
