Ceylon 1 BOP

The teas from the exotic tropical island of Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean offer pure tasty experiences, with both strong taste impressions and beautiful aromatic bouquets. Ceylon teas are very different depending on where on the island they are grown and at what altitude. In addition, the peculiar monsoon conditions that prevail on the island also help to characterize the taste. The most beautiful teas grow at an altitude of over 1500 meters on the beautiful mountainsides in the area around Nuwara Eliya in the middle of the island. These teas are also known as high grown. This small-leaved Broken Orange Pekoe is an excellent everyday tea with the classic taste of Ceylon. Profile: Beautiful, uniform, small-leaved quality with a dark deep colour. Ceylon I is an exciting tea with a bouquet that can be described as rich forest floor with notes of orange and sweetness. The tea contains a lot of tannic acid and can therefore tolerate milk, which also highlights the sweet, fruity notes. Recommended preparation: 100°C water/6 g. per liter water. Steeping time: 5 minutes* *We recommend a longer steeping time if you want to add milk.
