Fresh, citrusy aroma, sweet juicy notes reminiscent of mandarin peel and grapefruit, this superior grade Ceylon black tea has a refreshing texture and balanced astringency. Our Ceylon Sonata is a classic everyday black tea from the renowned Kenilworth Estate in the Kandy region of Sri Lanka. Bright and lively, this is a medium-bodied and delightfully tangy Ceylon tea.
This tea contains a high level of caffeine | Steep at 100°C for 3-5 minutes.
The first tea plant was smuggled into Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon) in 1824. While it was not intended for commercial uses at the time, it wasn't long before more plants arrived, and by 1867, the first tea plantation was founded by Scotsman James Taylor. By the 1880s, following a severe blight in the 1870s, nearly all coffee plantations had converted to tea. Now, Sri Lanka is one of the world's largest producers of tea, with six main growing regions across several elevations and growing conditions.
