England is known for many things, but chief among them may be there pension for tea drinking. Because for many centuries the sun never set on the British Empire, this meant that tea cultivation and production has spread across the whole world. This includes the mystical land of Sri Lanka, a small country that was once called Ceylon, and has now passed that moniker onto the delectable black tea grown in the region, that make up one of the largest sectors of the Sri Lankan economy. Sri Lanka is found off the coast of Southern India, and is a small country, about the size of West Virginia.
Though it is small in stature, it is a beautiful country and has become a titan in the tea production industry. Ceylon Tea is the general name given to all black loose leaf teas made in Sri Lanka. It is thought to be the best fruity black tea in the world, and has a solid base flavor that makes it amenable to use as a base for flavored teas. Early on, Sri Lanka primarily made coffee. Sadly, centuries ago weather patterns began changing and large scale crop infestation hit, which pushed Sri Lankans to find a new cash crop. Tea became the cause dejour, which made sense given their ties to imperial England. Despite tea being produced everywhere in the world, Ceylon tea still manages to stand out. It is produced using an Orthodox Method that rejects CTC manufacturing. The orthodox method of tea production means pickers putting small amount of tea leaves in their baskets, to avoid damage from its own weight. It also means rolling out the tea leaves individually. This individual rollout allows for oxidation to begin, and breaks down the cell walls to further enhance this. After being oxidized sufficiently, these loose leaves are fired up to maintain their current state, then painstakingly packaged according to organic standards, then sent to the happy tea sipping customer at ell ends of the world.
