Ceylon Black Tea

Our Ceylon black tea is a rich, smooth and highly aromatic black tea from Koslanda, Sri Lanka’s premier region for tea. It makes a brisk cup with just a hint of spice, and is a fine example of Ceylon tea at its best.

Cups Per Package

This tea is carefully blended and packaged by hand in a reusable tin or a resealable kraft bag. Our 3.5 oz. tin or kraft bag makes approximately 40 cups of tea. Our 7 oz. kraft bag makes approximately 80 cups.

Ingredients

Black tea (Origin: Sri Lanka)

Tasting Notes

Brisk and robust with malty, toasty, and spicy notes.

How to Brew Ceylon Tea

Use 1 level teaspoon per 6 oz. water. Heat water to boiling. Steep for 2 to 4 minutes. For best taste, do not over steep. These leaves can also handle a second or even third infusion.

We recommend preparing Ceylon using a teapot, tea infuser, or tea filter. These brewing methods give the tea leaves enough room to expand as the tea steeps, resulting in a richer, more flavorful cup. Ceylon can be enjoyed on its own for a brisk, refreshing cup, and also goes well with a splash of milk and sweetener or as a base for a tea latte.

Ceylon Tea Caffeine Content

Black tea contains a moderate amount of caffeine, less than half as much as coffee per cup.

Ceylon Tea Benefits

Black tea boosts energy, helps with focus, and is a lower-caffeine alternative to coffee.
