Where are the teas grown?
Ceylon tea from Sri Lanka is often acclaimed as the best tea in the world. The climate of this small and exotic country is ideally suited to producing a variety of delightful flavors and aromas. Sri Lanka produces tea throughout the year, and the growing areas are mainly concentrated in the central highlands and southern inland areas of the island. Ceylon teas are broadly grouped under three headings according to the elevations at which they are grown. “High growns” are grown at elevations ranging from 1200 meters upwards, “medium growns” between 600 meters and 1200 meters and “low growns” from sea level up to 600 meters. High grown teas from Sri Lanka are particularly reputed for their taste and aroma. The Original Ceylon Tea Company offers only high grown teas. You really can taste the difference.
