Best Grocery Black Ceylon Tea Ceylon Cayi Pack 100g

This 100 g bag holds loose black tea sold under the Ceylon name, and the pack lists a single ingredient: black Ceylon tea. The leaves are dark and long, the kind you brew in a pot rather than in a bag, which gives you control over how strong the cup turns out.

The label suggests two tablespoons of leaves in two glasses of water, boiled for 15 minutes and then left to infuse for two to three minutes. If you prefer the classic way, pour freshly boiled water over a spoonful of leaves in a teapot and steep for four to five minutes. Ceylon-style black tea is usually enjoyed plain, with a slice of lemon or with a little milk, and it works well as a morning tea or an afternoon break with biscuits and pastries.

Keep the bag tightly closed, or transfer the leaves to an airtight tin, in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and strongly scented foods. This keeps the aroma intact for longer.
