What is Ceylon Tea?

Ceylon (say-lawn) tea is a type of tea produced in the island state of Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon. Sri Lanka is small but has a huge range in terms of altitude, climate, soil type, plant varieties and weather, so the flavors and character of the teas produced there vary greatly. Despite regional nuances, the classic Ceylon flavor is generally considered bold, full-bodied and brisk. It has medium to full tannins and some notes of citrus, chocolate or spice.

 

Ceylon Tea is produced from the dried leaves of the tea plant Camellia sinensis. The leaves are often described as wiry because they are left long and thin with a wire-like appearance. In the world of tea, these leaves are very easy to identify. Most Ceylon teas are orthodox teas, which means they are hand-crafted to make bright, sparkling teas.

What is OP 1 Variety?

Ceylon OP1 Tea is another OP variety of Sri Lankan tea called Orange Pekoe-1 Tea. This Pure Ceylon black tea is a good grade of large green tea. It is made of long, slightly wiry and slightly twisted tea leaves. This tea has a rich aromatic forest like aroma. The liquor is usually light golden reddish color and has a delicate light taste. Compared to other teas, it takes a bit longer to brew because it has leafiness.
