Sri Lanka

Ceylon (Sri Lankan) teas vary in flavour, from the mellow richness of low altitude teas, to the aromatic and citrussy mediums to the intensely flavoured high-altitude teas.  As a general quality, Ceylon teas combines richness and strength with satisfying smoothness.

Sri Lanka's favourable weather conditions and fertile soil, mean that tea is the island’s single largest agricultural crop. Tea in Sri Lanka is grown at between 3,000 and 8,000 feet, the altitude and moist weather gives ideal conditions and the tea bushes flush frequently.
