Common Facts about Ceylon Tea

How to Buy, Use, and Store Ceylon Tea

Due to its diversity, there is a variety of ways to consume Ceylon tea. Most people enjoy it as a refreshing drink, as an iced tea or freshly brewed and warm. All you need to do is to boil water and pour it into a pot of Ceylon tea leaves. The longer the brewing process is, the greater the strength of flavor and caffeine content can be. You can add milk, sweeteners, or lemon to reduce bitterness and strong flavor. Because of the brisk qualities and caffeine, Ceylon tea is suitable for morning or afternoon tea.

When purchasing Ceylon tea, choose loose leaves to ensure optimal quality. Alternatively, go for tea bags. Genuine products should have a distinctive lion logo on the packages, which is a trademark of the Ski Lankan Tea Board all over the world. For storage, keep the tea in a clean and airtight container in a dry and cool area. Keep it away from pungent smells, light, heat, and moisture.[7]
