Sri Lanka (originally called Ceylon) has been producing quality teas for centuries. It is estimated that around 4 percent of Sri Lanka is covered by tea plantations. Different climates, regions and elevations (from low altitudes of 0 -2,000 ft. above sea level to 6,200 ft. above sea level) contribute to the unique characteristics and varieties of Ceylon tea. Although there are regional nuances, classic Ceylon flavor is typically bold, full and brisk with notes of citrus, chocolate or spice. Ceylon black tea is one of Sri Lanka’s most celebrated specialties and is a favored beverage around the globe. Enjoy it plain or experiment with milk, lemon, honey or sugar. About Mlesna Mlesna launched in 1983 and in less than 34 years they have a growing clientele of more than 37 countries.

At Mlesna we do not believe that there are people who don’t drink tea - we simply understand that not everyone has found their cup of tea.

• Ceylon Earl Gray: Garden fresh fine FBOP tea from Nuwara-Eliya region has been blended with Dimbula Valley region teas to create this fine tasting Earl Gray Tea.
• English Breakfast Tea: - This tea comes from - Dimbula plantations located in the high-altitude tea growing district of Sri Lanka. All the plantations are more than 5000 feet above sea level and every leaf is handpicked and sorted. Tea shoots grow more slowly in the humid clouds that often cloak the mountains, this produces tea with wonderful fragrance, light color and exquisite subtle flavor.
