Tea for You - Tea Business

The former "coffee island" Sri Lanka has turned into a "tea island" and has become the world's biggest tea exporter. This Ceylon tea comes from one of the most important cultivable regions of Sri Lanka, the Dimbulla District located in the west of the country. The quality, or leaf grading, OP, stands for Orange Pekoe and means royal leaf. This is the quality you can find in our beautiful, dark, wiry, needle-shaped leaf. Despite its dark infusion, the cup has the typical bright red-brown color of Ceylon teas. The unique, full, spicy and aromatic taste would even convince James Taylor, the father of Ceylonese tea growing.
