Descripción
Ceylon is the trade name for tea from Sri Lanka, produced across diverse growing regions at various elevations. High-grown teas (above 1,200m) from Nuwara Eliya and Dimbula are light, crisp, and fragrant. Mid-grown teas from Kandy are smooth and full. Low-grown teas from Ruhuna and Sabaragamuwa are bold and strong. A lion logo certifies authentic Ceylon tea.

High-grown Ceylon (Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula) brews best at 90-95°C for a lighter, more fragrant cup. Low-grown Ruhuna teas handle full boiling water. Ceylon makes excellent iced tea: brew double-strength and pour over ice. Its bright, clean character resists clouding when chilled.
