Which is the most famous brand of Ceylon black tea, Sri Lankan black tea or Chinese black tea?

Sri Lanka is a tropical island in the Indian Ocean. There are many names in the world, such as Serendib, Taprobane and Ceylon. The name "Serendib" gives the English word "serendipity", which means "welcome surprise".

However, "Ceylon Tea" is undoubtedly a key factor in making "Ceylon" a household name around the world.

Given the success of tea cultivation in Sri Lanka, the birth of tea in Sri Lanka by accident may come as a surprise. It can even be said that Ceylon tea was born in the demise of Sri Lanka's coffee industry.

In the mid-19th century, during the British colonial rule of Sri Lanka, they introduced coffee as a plantation crop to the island. Coffee plantations in Sri Lanka flourished only a few years before they were hit by a devastating disease and the entire coffee crop was destroyed. This is a disaster for the island's economy because coffee is the main source of income. As a result, the colonial rulers were forced to look for alternatives.

At that time, James Taylor (James Tylor) planted the first tea crops on "Loolecondera Estate" near the capital of Mount Conti, a land of only 19 acres. This has become a stepping stone to an industry that has changed the country's economy and culture forever. Other planters followed suit, and by 1877, the first recorded teas were shipped to England. In a short period of ten years, a new and prosperous tea industry has been built on the ruins of the coffee industry.

The trademark of Ceylon tea is its unparalleled quality. This also gives birth to the premise that Ceylon tea is the "cleanest tea" in the world. One of the key factors in the quality of Ceylon tea is the unique manual picking technology handed down from generation to generation. This ensures that only the freshest buds are picked. Commercial machine harvesting does not guarantee this quality. These high standards put Ceylon tea on a par with the best tea in the world and have a firm grip on global tea exports.

Ceylon tea enjoys a high reputation. In an unparalleled ideal climate, it can be harvested all year round, producing a range of unique flavors by hand picking through a mixture of weather, Rain Water, fog and dry weather. In Sri Lanka, tea is grown in six different regions. That is, Nuwaraeliya, Kandy, Dimbula, Radella, Ruhuna and Uva. Different climates, different elevations and different soil types make the tea in each region have different characteristics and taste.

Pure Ceylon tea stands out in all its glory! The hypnotic taste of pure Ceylon tea keeps you away from daily stress and only need to take a sip of its sacred taste. This is why the history of tea can be traced back to the famous past, where our proud royal family experienced the best natural brewing.

This tropical island provides the best fertile soil for tea trees to flourish. Let us drink several different kinds of tea, such as black tea, green tea and white tea.

Although black tea has always been a part of Sri Lankan life, from childhood to adulthood, black tea has never been a choice, but a must! Black tea with milk and sugar is the way Sri Lankans start the day, and their evenings are accompanied by a cup of warm milk tea to make you feel cool in it. Strong black tea is simply called "white tea" by the local people. They usually drink pure tea before lunch and take a lick of sugar in their hands. Simple practice is a pleasure for them.

The combination of Ceylon tea and Sri Lankan tropical fruit produces a rich and sweet mixture (fruit-flavored tea). There is a growing demand for morning teas such as Earl Grey, which is why they are so popular. The use of Ceylon tea in the production process can obtain a unique and irreplaceable flavor, which shows the high quality and pleasant aroma of Ceylon tea.

As the pride and joy of the whole country, a kind of tea that will not lose its reputation is highly valued. Carefully planting, harvesting, production, packaging, care, Ceylon tea comes to your hands. Ceylon tea is always true in our hearts, and it is a great honor to drink it today!
