Ceylon black tea is the green gold of the spice island — the second name of Sri Lanka. It was during British colonization that tea cultivation would develop, to the detriment of coffee. Ceylon tea became a global reference thanks to the British East India Company. In the early 19th century, only China supplied tea to Western countries. The United Kingdom decided to develop tea cultivation in its colonies to no longer depend on it—discovering along the way the wild tea of the Assam region, which would keep this name and later be planted all over India, and even in China thanks to Chinese spies. This is why we can also find Assam in China.

We propose here to discover how to steep Ceylon black tea. For a deliciously sweet touch, we love adding a dash of Ceylon cinnamon.
