Black Tea Earl Grey, 100 gr.

Ceylon: Cradle of Famous Tea

The black Earl Grey tea presented originates from the picturesque island of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. This region is rightly considered one of the world's tea production centers, thanks to its unique climate: high-altitude plantations, abundant rainfall, and fertile soils create ideal conditions for growing top-quality tea.

It was here, in the mid-19th century, that Scottish planter James Taylor established the first commercial tea plantations, laying the foundation for Ceylon tea's global fame. An interesting historical fact: before the advent of the tea industry, Ceylon was the largest coffee producer, but a coffee rust epidemic forced farmers to switch to tea, which proved to be a fateful decision for the island's economy.
