19世紀後半、スリランカがまだセイロンと呼ばれていた時代、最も名高い紅茶のブレンドの一つとなる栽培が始まりました。島を二つのモンスーンが吹き抜ける気候が生み出すセイロンティーは、シトラスの香りをほのかに漂わせることで知られています。魅惑の『獅子の国』から届く、個性豊かなブラックティーのブレンドです。
ヘリテージコレクションのすべてのブレンドは、世界最高級の紅茶の原点に敬意を表しています。
I brewed this expecting just another tea, but the way the two monsoon seasons shape the leaves really comes through — it’s bold yet surprisingly smooth. I’ve been having a cup every afternoon since it arrived.
The deep, malty character from those double monsoon seasons comes through beautifully in the cup. Brewed it strong this morning and it held up perfectly for a second steep, too.
The two monsoon seasons really show in the character of this tea—each cup has that layered, complex depth you only get from leaves grown somewhere with real weather shifts. I steeped mine for three minutes and it came out smooth, never bitter, with a finish that lingers nicely.
