Ceylon Tea is a popular type of black tea that is also known as Sri Lankan tea. While Ceylon is known for its bold flavor, it can vary significantly in taste, depending on the type of tea and where it's grown in the country.
Our single estate Ceylon Kenilworth is from the famous Kenilworth Tea Garden in the Dimbula region of Sri Lanka. Its unique leaves are dark and long and produce a wonderfully golden, fruity cup of tea bursting with flavour. A classic Orange Pekoe tea, perfect in the afternoon.
Kenilworth Estate makes beautiful wiry black teas using young tea shoots that have been picked from the garden’s own bushes, as well as those grown by around 250 farmers who work small plots of land nearby. The estate dates back to the 1880s and lies near Sri Lanka’s Nuwara Eliya district; an area often known as Little England because of the English-style cricket club, golf club, red post boxes and gardens filled with colourful roses, snap dragons, daisies and buttercups.
