Organic Ceylon Venture Estate Black Tea
Sri Lanka was previously known as "Ceylon" and this name carries on in the famous Ceylon black teas. Our tea is grown at a tea estate founded in the 1870's in the lush Nuwara Eliya District. The Venture Tea Estate is one of the earliest of Sri Lanka’s organically farmed tea estates. Here, in the mountainous landscape, tea plants thrive and flourish beneath the early morning cool mistings, cloud covered warm days, and relatively cool nights. The Venture Tea Estate practices a biodynamic growing practice and this beautiful garden is known for having a lovely medium bodied tea that stands on it's own or can be blended with other black teas as part of many "breakfast" blends.
Our higher grade OP1 Ceylon Tea brews to a deep copper infusion and a smooth golden tea liquor taste with a typical high grown character and briskness.
PREPARATION: Heat water to a boil 212˚F and add one rounded teaspoon loose leaf tea per cup (apprx. 8 ounces). Infuse the tea leaves for 3–5 minutes depending on taste preference. Drink plain or with milk and a sweetner if so desired.
