Organic English Breakfast Loose Leaf Tea, 8oz, 110+ Cups, 100% Idulgashinna Estate OP Grade Tea

Despite its small size, Sri Lanka is a land of immense beauty and is one of the world's largest producers of tea. Ceylon tea, the name given to loose black teas produced in Sri Lanka, is renowned as the best fruity black tea in the world, making it perfect for use in blends or as a base for flavored teas. Originally a coffee country, Sri Lanka shifted towards tea production due to weather conditions and crop infestations, and they have excelled in this new industry.

While tea is grown and produced all over the world, Sri Lankan tea, also known as Ceylon tea, has a special recognition due to its traditional production methods. Unlike other producers who have started to mechanize the entire process, Sri Lankan Ceylon tea is still produced by the Orthodox method, which involves painstaking and time-consuming steps. The tea pickers carefully fill baskets partially to avoid bruising leaves, and roll out the tea to break down cell walls for the oxidation process to begin. Once oxidized, the loose leaves are fired to preserve their state and sent to tea drinkers across the world.

The unique English Breakfast blend is grown entirely within the Idulgashinna Estate, ensuring a simplified supply chain and full oversight from planting to packaging in Cleveland, OH. This 100% certified organic product offers a distinctive, full-bodied taste with fruity and floral hints, and is high in antioxidants, making it a healthy and revitalizing morning tradition.

English Breakfast tea, known for its perfect pairing with a hearty breakfast, has been enjoyed for centuries. This special blend of Ceylon tea, rated as Orange Pekoe (OP), provides a unique, ambrosial flavor with a crisp edge and pleasant aroma. Grown entirely on the Harrington Estate in the Dimbula region of Sri Lanka, this blend benefits from the changes in elevation and distinct wind and humidity patterns.

Sri Lanka, often referred to as the "Bordeaux of Tea" by experts, is the home of Ceylon Tea. The transparency of production and distinct flavor profile of Ceylon tea make it a popular choice for tea drinkers worldwide.
