Ceylons Ceylon, the colonial name for the island of Sri Lanka, is the third largest tea producing area in the world. Ceylon teas offer the serious tea drinker an adventure in subtle differences of taste. Darjeelings Darjeeling teas are grown in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains in the northeastern part of India between Nepal, Sikkim and Bhutan. We add the finest flavoring to tea leaves of high quality. Hundreds of years ago, all tea was green.
Recent research seems to validate long-standing claims about the health values of green teas.
However, we think the best reason to drink green tea is to experience the wide range of taste sensations available from our high quality teas. In the latter process, carefully selected dried tea leaves are laid in the scenting room in long rows about 18 inches apart. Freshly plucked jasmine petals are then heaped into rows between, barely touching the tea leaves. The dried tea leaves absorb the scent from the jasmine blossoms. To ensure even and complete absorption of the scent, both the tea leaves and the blossoms are periodically churned by workers using wooden rakes.
