På 1800-talets slut, när Sri Lanka fortfarande hette Ceylon, började odlingen av en av de mest hyllade teblandningarna. Resultatet av ett klimat där två monsunperioder sveper över ön, är Ceylon-te känt för sin subtila doft av citrusfrukter. En distinkt svart blandning från det förtrollande 'Lejonens land'.

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.
