Ceylon Black Tea

Ceylon black tea is traditionally enjoyed as a bold and refreshing tea ritual for everyday lifestyle. It is a daily, zero-calorie beverage that contains naturally occurring tea polyphenols. With its moderate caffeine content, it is often chosen as an alternative to stronger beverages like coffee. The full-bodied taste and invigorating aroma of the variant define it and make it suitable for everyday enjoyment. Black tea is enjoyed worldwide for its distinctive copper-red infusion and bold, refreshing flavour.

At Ceyara Tea, we offer a collection of organic Ceylon black tea infused with bright citrus, floral, and herbal notes that complement its sharp flavour.

Every tea drinker prefers to enjoy their cup of tea differently. However, one common misconception is that the flavours you can explore are limited to the main types of tea.
Black tea, despite being known for its signature boldness, explores many other taste profiles beyond it. At Ceyara Tea, we offer a variety of flavor profiles that suit different taste preferences. Choose from:
Bright Citrus Notes: Rooted in citrusy bergamot blended with subtle floral compliments. Discover Earl Grey-inspired blends at Ceyara Tea.
Spicy and Bold: Dark, hearty brews and full-bodied taste profiles. Find your classic morning tea flavours like the brisk English Breakfast teas.
Authentic Sri Lankan-inspired: Discover black tea blends featuring traditional Sri Lankan spices like Ceylon Chai Black Tea. 

Learning to brew your black tea the right way is a great investment of your time. Ensuring correct timing, techniques, and practices helps you achieve the ideal balance of rich flavor, sweetness, and nutrients. Here are the steps you must adhere to, no matter how you decide to brew your black tea:

1. Pre-heat the teapot or mug for brewing.
2. Measure the amount of tea you need. Decide how many black tea bags are needed based on the water quantity and the desired strength of taste.
3. Heat the water to a full boil of 100°C for a richer brew.
4. Steep your tea bags for at least 3 to 5 minutes and keep covering the pot.
5. Add your preferred complements like milk. If you plan on taking this step, make sure you brew for close to 5 minutes.

Accompany your everyday routines with this signature tea.

Kickstarting your Mornings
Variants like the English Breakfast Black Tea are perfect for waking up and starting your day with a light yet bold refreshment.

Afternoon Productivity Ritual
The British tradition of afternoon tea, usually between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM, is synonymous with black tea. Teas like Earl Grey are traditionally paired with milk, scones, or pastries for a relaxing social break.

Hearty Meal Pairings
Because black tea is robust, earthy, and sometimes malty, it pairs beautifully with heavy, rich, or greasy meals. It can cleanse the palate and help cut through the richness of meats, cheeses, and heavy stews.

Organic Ceylon black tea is meant to be more than your everyday beverage.  

Outdoor & Summer Gatherings 
Iced black tea, often brewed with lemon, mint, or fruity flavors, is highly refreshing. It is a go-to beverage for hot summer afternoons, picnics, or barbecues.
