Ceylon black tea – Your perfect everyday cuppa!
Origin: Sri Lanka
Bright, smooth, and beautifully balanced—our organic Ceylon Black Tea is a classic you’ll reach for every day. Grown in the lush highlands of Sri Lanka and sourced from a certified fair trade garden, this Broken Orange Pekoe (BOP) grade delivers a full-bodied flavour with light tannins and a clean finish.
Whether you enjoy it black, with milk, or a slice of lemon, this tea offers a brisk, refreshing cup that’s perfect for morning rituals or afternoon resets. Its medium-leaf cut allows for a slightly quicker infusion without sacrificing depth or clarity, making it an ideal daily brew for lovers of bold yet balanced black tea.
Naturally rich in antioxidants, this tea also supports heart health, digestion, and mental clarity, making it as beneficial as it is delicious.
Benefits
Not only is Ceylon black tea delicious, it may also help with:
Supporting Heart Health
Regular consumption may help reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol, improve blood vessel function, and lower the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Rich in Antioxidants
Ceylon black tea is high in polyphenols, particularly theaflavins and thearubigins, which help combat free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and support cellular health.
Boosts Mental Alertness
With a moderate caffeine content, Ceylon tea improves focus, concentration, and cognitive performance—making it a great morning or midday pick-me-up.
Aid Digestion
The tannins in black tea support gut health by soothing inflammation, promoting healthy gut bacteria, and aiding digestion.
Help Regulate Blood Sugar
Some studies suggest black tea may enhance insulin sensitivity and help regulate blood sugar levels—supportive for those managing diabetes or blood sugar fluctuations.
Boosts Immune System
Naturally occurring compounds like catechins and alkylamines may strengthen immune response and help the body fight off infections.
