The uplands have colder and misty weather. It gives the leaves a briskness and scent. This marks them as a prestigious choice for those who want a special tea.

How to Make Ceylon High Grown Tea

Brewing a cup of Ceylon High Grown Tea is an art that enhances its sophisticated flavours and aroma. Follow these simple steps to enjoy the perfect cup:

1. Boil Water: Begin by boiling fresh water. If you live in a hard water area, consider using filtered or bottled water. This will avoid altering the tea’s delicate taste.
2. Warm the Teapot: Pour some boiled water into your teapot. Swirl it around to warm it, before discarding it. This step helps maintain the tea’s temperature during steeping.
3. Measure the Tea: Add one teaspoon of Ceylon Tea for every cup of tea you’re making into the teapot. If you prefer a stronger brew, please add a bit more.
4. Add Hot Water: Pour the boiled water over the tea leaves, ensuring they are submerged. The ideal water temperature is off the boil, approximately 90-95°C.
5. Steep the Tea: Allow the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your taste preference. Steeping for 3 minutes will make a lighter, more aromatic cup. Steeping for 5 minutes will make it stronger and fuller.

Strain and Serve: Strain the tea into your cup to remove the leaves. Enjoy the tea as is, or add a slice of lemon or a dash of milk according to preference. For an authentic experience, pair it with a small spoonful of honey or sugar to taste.
