Ceylon Black Tea - Earl Grey

Tea labelled 'Earl Grey' can be found in most supermarkets these days but this is invariably of very poor quality. These blends are often made from fannings and flavoured with bergamot extract. A true Earl Grey is made from a blend of various black teas (normally Chinese but sometimes Indian and Ceylon teas) combined with the highly aromatic oil obtained from the rind of fresh bergamot fruit. Our multi-award winning Earl Grey is a fine example of the style made from a blend of high quality Ceylon teas and fresh Sicilian bergamot oil. We urge all Earl Grey drinkers to try this one.

Use 1 heaped teaspoon per cup and steep for 3 minutes in boiling water.

Ceylon Black Tea - New Vithanakanda

From one of the very best Ceylon estates and of extremely limited production. The beautiful wiry leaves produce a sparkling bright liquor with a honey-like aroma and a subtle astringency. This is one of our favourite black teas.

Use 1 level teaspoon per cup and steep for 3 minutes in slightly below boiling water.

Ceylon Black Tea - Orange Pekoe 'Kenilworth'

This whole leaf Ceylon tea is fragrant and full bodied and can be drunk at any time of day. Can take a little milk if made slightly stronger.

Use 1 level teaspoon per cup and steep for 4 minutes in strongly boiled water.
