Ceylon Tea: A taste experience from Sri Lanka

Ceylon tea is a pure tea that is more than just a drink. It is a tribute to Sri Lanka's rich cultural heritage and the skill of the local tea farmers who have refined their craft for generations.

Tea from Sri Lanka has a deep and fascinating history that spans centuries. Sri Lanka has been home to tea production for more than 150 years and has played an important role in shaping the world's tea industry. Ceylon tea quickly became known for its extraordinary taste and aroma, making it a sought-after export worldwide.

The British tea industry was one of the first to embrace Ceylon tea as a high-quality substitute for the previously imported Chinese and Indian teas. Ceylon tea is associated with luxury and elegance and has become a staple in afternoon teas.

Ceylon tea is not one of the strongest tasting teas, but its unique taste has made it a regular part of the well-known English Breakfast tea, as it together with Assam tea gets an exquisite taste.

The importance of climate for Ceylon tea

The climate plays a decisive role in the production of Ceylon tea. Sri Lanka's unique geographical location and climatic conditions have created the perfect environment for growing high quality tea. The varied terrain of the island, combined with the influence of the seasonal monsoon winds, has a direct impact on the taste, aroma and character of Ceylon tea.

In the higher regions, such as Nuwara Eliya, where the tea plantations are high above sea level, the climate is cooler and there is an increased influence from the monsoon winds. This results in tea leaves with a more delicate flavor and light, floral notes. On the other hand, in the lowlands and plains, the tea plants thrive in warmer conditions, producing tea leaves that are fuller and more robust in flavor.

The monsoon winds that hit the island in two main seasons also affect the growing season and the quality of the tea leaves. The monsoon in April to September provides the tea plants with the necessary amount of rain for growth, while the dry period from October to March helps create dry and compressed leaves, ideal for the production of varieties such as Ceylon black tea .
