Ceylon Black Tea

Produced in Sri Lanka, Ceylon black tea can be enjoyed on its own or combined with other herbs and teas. Ceylon tea's distinctive, citrus scent makes it a refreshing beverage for morning or afternoon--and it supplies just enough caffeine to boost your energy.

About Ceylon White, Green and Black Tea

Sri Lanka is renowned for its fine organic green, white and black brews, which are divided into three basic categories based on the geography of their growing location:

• High/Upcountry (Udarata) Tea
• Mid-Country (Medarata) Tea
• Low-Country (Pahatha Rata) Tea

When you purchase Ceylon black tea (or other Ceylon tea varieties), you'll find a lion logo on the packaging. The logo is carefully monitored by a governing body overseeing Sri Lankan tea production, and producers must lobby for permission to use the logo. After inspecting the grower's crop and facilities, the Sri Lanka Tea Board may allow the farm to use the famous lion logo--which denotes fine beverages of high quality.

Tea Facts

Other than pure water, tea is the most consumed global beverage. Tea enthusiasts gain relaxation and well-being from drinking--and even brewing--fine black, green and white teas. Plain tea contains no calories, making it an excellent alternative to water for those trying to lose weight. And, while many people enjoy traditional Ceylon black tea, there is a thriving market for herbal infusions (calledtisanes), as well, because of their diverse flavors and medicinal effects.
