A Tale of Ceylon's Tea Heritage
This blend honors Sri Lanka's rich tea-growing legacy, where Ceylon tea has been cultivated since the 1860s. The hillsides of Sri Lanka's central highlands provide ideal growing conditions for tea, resulting in the distinctive character of Ceylon OP grade tea.
The spice trade has equally deep roots in Sri Lanka's history. As a key stop along ancient spice routes, Sri Lanka became renowned for its fine cinnamon and exotic spices. This blend pays homage to that heritage by combining Ceylon tea with traditional spices.
The addition of apricot notes reflects the influence of modern tea crafting, where traditional bases are enhanced with natural fruit essences, creating new experiences while respecting classical tea-making traditions.
