Ceylon Green Tea

In the beginning, the people of Sri Lanka were coffee farmers. In the late 1800s the country experienced a fall in the production of the coffee berry and so they were forced to look for an alternative crop to grow. This move saw most farmers go into tea farming so as to counter the effect of the losses they had encountered with their coffee. Coffee rust saw to the birth of tea farming in the region.

Ceylon green tea is one of the three types of Ceylon tea grown in Sri Lanka. It is a product of the stock from an Assamese. The tea has a taste that is full if it were to be compared to the other Ceylon teas. The Assamese seed used to produce it gives it a strong flavor that is bent towards a malt and nut taste. Most of these teas are usually given names that are derived from the Chinese culture. The naming system should not confuse you, the Ceylon green tea have a unique taste that is full of richness.

Despite its struggle to create its niche in the industry, green tea is one of those tastes that appeal to a small audience.
