Sri Lanka — formerly known as Ceylon — has one of the world's oldest tea empires. Scottish tea planter James Taylor introduced the first tea plantation to the island in 1867, and found that Ceylon tea leaves thrived in the cool, humid climate. Ceylon loose leaf tea soon developed a global reputation for its distinctive flavors and aromas — one that remains to this day.
Full-bodied loose leaf Ceylon Black Tea, delicate loose leaf Ceylon Green Tea, and rare loose leaf Ceylon White Tea are among this island nation's top tea exports. Black Ceylon tea is renowned for its satisfying amber infusions and well-balanced tasting notes. Green Ceylon tea typically comes from the Uva district and boasts unique flavors that differ from many other green teas. White Ceylon tea offers a rare sipping experience for the discerning tea connoisseur. Find the best Ceylon tea in our extensive collection.
