Ceylon tea

Ceylon tea, an authentic and traditional black tea adored by the finest palates

Originally from present-day Sri Lanka, an island country in South Asia called “Ceylon” until 1972,Ceylon teais part of the colonial history of the British Empire. In the mid-19th century, England had ambitions to compete with China in the cultivation and trade of tea. The first Camellia sinensis plants were therefore planted on the island of Ceylon, particularly renowned for its ideal climate.

While coffee was widely cultivated and consumed there before this period, Ceylon black tea quickly gained popularity thanks to its distinctive full-bodied taste. Ceylon tea owes its excellence to exceptional craftsmanship, which includes hand-picking and some of the strictest quality control in the tea industry.

Ceylon black teanow belongs to Sri Lankan cultural heritage. With a cup of this hot beverage, whose strength and character vary depending on the vintage, travel to the pearl of the Indian Ocean from the comfort of your boudoir. Combining quality and sensoriality, Ceylon tea promises you an irresistible taste experience every day.
