Why is Ceylon tea famous?

Ceylon tea is known worldwide for its strong flavour, bright aroma, and quality that feels really unmatched, and it comes from Sri Lanka’s unusual landform. It’s grown on this island, then it’s entirely handpicked, so only the best two leaves and a bud are delicately harvested.

Because the island has different microclimates, from low-humidity areas up to misty mountains at higher altitudes, the teas end up with very varied flavour profiles. That’s why they’re grouped into low-grown, medium-grown, and high-grown types. Strict processing standards and orthodox making methods help keep the tea’s natural antioxidants and essential oils. All of this focus on cleanliness and traditional processing has really helped Ceylon tea become a premium drink in international markets.
