In the late 19th century, when Sri Lanka was still named Ceylon, the cultivation of one of the most celebrated tea blends began. The product of a climate which sees two monsoon seasons sweep across the island, Ceylon tea is noted for its subtle aroma of citrus fruit. A distinctive black blend from the enchanting ‘Land of the Lions’. 

Every blend in the Heritage Collection honours the origins of the world’s finest tea.

Thomas Z. ★★★★★

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.

Thomas X. ★★★★★

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.

Ellie B. ★★★★★

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.
