Ceylon OP Balangoda 250gPrice 11.85 €
Ceylon, or its contemporary name, Sri Lanka, is a beautiful tropical island lies just 22 miles off the southern tip of India. Sri Lanka supplies about a quarter of the world's tea. The nearly six hundred thousand acres of tea under cultivation provide well over half of the island's export earnings. Ceylon grew no tea until 1867, when one Scott planted the first tea bushes. His timing was quite fortuitous, as just two years later a fungus disease descended on the island's coffee plantations, ruining what had been Ceylons leading industry. Those who could afford to, turned to growing tea. An exclusive condition in the soil gives blackness to the leaves and strength and character to the cup, that is why Ceylon Kanneliya infuses to a warm russet color with rich honey fragrance and biscuity, fruity and honey-chocolate notes. This would make for an elegant breakfast or subtle afternoon. This tea produces a pleasantly weighty cup with lots of color and ‘rustic’ flavor, which holds up well to milk and sugar. Admire the hand-picked golden tips of each leaf while you enjoy your tea. We recommend to steep tea leaves in hot water at 85°-100°C * All prices are without VAT
