Tea is Sri Lanka’s most famous export – but many people are missing out on the real quality teas from this country in favour of mass produced supermarket teas.

The tea currently being grown in Sri Lanka is outstanding in terms of quality and value for money and the different regions of the country produce exceptional teas with their own distinctive and individual characteristics of flavour, aroma, and colour.

For an adventure into the real teas of Sri Lanka, known as Ceylon Tea, buying from the Internet is the best option.

www.teasofceylon.co.uk specialises in providing the choicest Sri Lankan tea, scouring the country to find producers of great quality and value.

For those who enjoy drinking tea, here is the opportunity to open the taste buds to an exciting array of gourmet tea flavours from the refreshing green tea of the Sivali hills to the full flavoured and aromatic teas of Dimbula.

Or enjoy the unique fine teas of Nuwara Eliya, which is to Ceylon Tea as Champagne is to French wine, with its light and exquisite flavour imbued with the scents of cypress trees, mentholated wild mint and eucalyptus that are native to the area.

There is no need to be put off from buying loose tea as the website also offers some charming Bee House teapots, which offer all the convenience of teabags without having to compromise on quality. Simply spoon in the loose tea, allow to infuse and pour straight from the pot.

Tea of Ceylon’s range of speciality tea also includes tea flavoured by Sri Lanka’s other important export – cinnamon, creating the perfect winter treat for the tea enthusiast. Also available is a fine Ceylon tea blended with oil of bergamot to create a delicious Earl Grey.

With prices starting at just £1.50 for a full-flavoured Dimbula breakfast style tea and £19.95 for a charming loose-leaf teapot, a selection from this site would make a interesting and delightful gift for any tea enthusiast.
