Vitanakande Estate Ceylon Black Tea

Our Vithanakande Ceylon is a highly sought-after grade produced from a wiry leaf and a very high percentage of tips. Brisk in liquor and darker than our other Ceylons, it features a light astringency and medium body.

Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, is a beautiful tropical island just off the southern tip of India. Ceylon tea is often hailed as the world's best fruity black tea. It is renowned for its briskness of flavor and clarity in the cup. Ceylon teas have distinctive personalities-a rich taste and a bright golden to rosy red color. Ceylon teas are known as "the cup that cheers".
