Origins of Tea Traditions
The base for many exquisite blends, similar to «Cleopatra's Night», often consists of teas harvested from the high-altitude plantations of Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka). This island has been famous for centuries for its unique conditions for growing tea bushes, where the humid climate and fertile soils contribute to the development of tea with a rich taste and aroma.
Interesting fact: The first tea bushes were brought to Ceylon by the British in the mid-19th century after coffee plantations were destroyed by a fungus. This event marked the beginning of the golden age of Ceylon tea, making it one of the world leaders.
