A superior quality black tea has its own unique characteristics. The primary contributors to the distinctive flavor of the black tea are the location and the growing conditions.
Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon), which is situated in the Indian Ocean and positioned above the equator, is blessed with a tropical climate that ensures year-round warm weather. Since tea cultivation depends greatly on the location and growing conditions, Sri Lanka with its ideal elevations, relative humidity, plenty of sunshine and perfect rainfall patterns influenced by the monsoon winds, provides the ideal natural setting for the cultivation of tea. The Pure Ceylon black tea produced there is unique in taste, aroma and flavour, and most importantly – is rich in healthy antioxidants and bioactive components.
Pure Ceylon Black Tea outshines other teas for more reasons than this. To this day, the teas are hand-harvested in keeping with age-old traditions that ensure minimal loss of quality and minimal leaf damage. The processing of the fresh tea leaves takes place within the shortest possible timeframe to retain the best qualities of the tea, while time-tested processing methods enrich the final outcome.
