Ceylon / (Sri Lanka) landscape
The sparkling little island nation, the former British colony that was named anno Ceyloni, was famous for its high-quality teas processed by traditional methods. It was once a coffee plantation and since (1867) tea has replaced cultivation.
Black tea has a significant degree of oxidation. During fermentation, the tea leaves are spread out and aerated, so that the tea leaves go through an oxidation process that darkens their color, aromatic substances start up and the characteristic taste of black tea is created. Black tea contains caffeine, which has a positive effect on our physical and mental health. Black tea contains less caffeine than coffee, is absorbed more slowly, so it does not suddenly burden the heart, tannic acid is present in other forms, which makes the physiological effect of tea more favorable.
