Learn More: Ceylon has been producing a reasonably young tea for just over 150 years. Now known as Sri Lanka, Ceylon was a British colony that grew primarily coffee. In the 1860s, a Scotsman named James Taylor was selected by an estate endeavoring to produce tea. Transporting tea plants from Assam, they were able to grow and harvest tea for the first time and, by the mid-1870s, were selling handmade teas as far away as London. After a disease wiped out all the coffee plants in Ceylon, tea plantations took root, and Sri Lanka’s production grew from 23 pounds per year to over 23 tons! Thomas Lipton, the founder of Lipton Tea, began gardens here and produced tea for one of the most famous tea brands ever. A unique drying process imparts Ceylon its distinct flavor, making it a popular choice as a blending tea that offers a robust base for many flavored blends. You’ll also find it in numerous breakfast teas and flavored blends!
