From the island of Sri Lanka, which still retains its old colonial name for matters dealing with tea, these are bright, flavorful, brisk, and refeshing teas.

Ceylon Breakfast An exceptional value, this curled OP tea from the Kiruwanaganga Estate brews up to a fairly hearty but smooth with that classic Ceylon "fruitiness" coming through in the aroma and the flavor. |
 |
Ceylon, Lumbini Estate, FBOP This exceptional black tea brews up with a deep rich aroma and a gorgeous copper/red hue. The liquor is very full-bodied with complex, thick flavor notes and hints of a spicy sweetness. |
 |
Ceylon Lumbini OPA, Large Leaf This is probably the smoothest, most mellow Ceylon black tea I have ever had. The tea leaves are fragrant, deep dark black with a slight twist and are absolutely huge. The cup is full-bodied with gentle sweet notes,and just the tiniest bit of crispness. |
 |
Ceylon, Ratnapura, BOP Extremely hearty, bright, and crisp with a marvelous, almost fruity flavor. A fabulous breakfast tea that is great with milk and sugar. |
 |
Ceylon, Vithanakanda Estate, Extra Special This is a beautiful, fine, wiry leaf with thin strands of silver leaf throughout. It has a incredibly rich and spicy aroma. This tea steeps up full-bodied, rich and thick, with a very complex flavor profile that includes a spicy licoricy note, hints of ripe fruit, and a hint of a dark caramel note. |
