Sincethen Ceylon has always been recognised as the producer of the Finest tea in the world Unfortunately some of the tea in your supermarket sold as Ceylon tea may not be pure ceylontea. Pure ceylon tea is very expensive. Once the bulk tea leaves the country it is often mixed with cheaper teas from India and Kenya to reduce both the cost and the taste!

Their products are shipped direct from the tea gardens and issure to be the unadulterated pure ceylon tea.
