For over a century Ceylon tea has held its sway as the best tea the world through. With its unique characteristics, flavors and aromas, dependent on a myriad of climatic conditions, plantation environments and elevation, and even processing procedures; tea grown in Sri Lanka has created for itself a reputation synonymous with quality.
Sri Lanka generates tea throughout the year, and the cultivating areas are mainly concentrated in the central highlands and southern inland areas of the island. The tea sector in Sri Lanka has always been a vital constituent of our economy and is also the country's largest employer providing employment both directly and indirectly to over one million people. This in turn has cast Sri Lanka as the 3rd biggest tea producing country globally. From the sheiks of the sands to the queen of England, Ceylon tea has forged for itself an image, aroma, and above all a taste comparable to that of perfection. Be it the first cup of the dawning day or the last relaxing sip at night, Ceylon tea is truly an icon of luxury, epicure and true Sri Lankan essence. |
