Ceylon Afternoon
Superior quality 100% pure Ceylon Tea Natural Ingredients Free from artificial additives
Ceylon Afternoon is BOP1 broken-leaf black tea from the high, sunny slopes of Uva — wiry, medium-length leaf that brews into a bright ruby-red cup with malty freshness and real afternoon strength.
The liquor looks lighter than it drinks: malty, robust and satisfying without heaviness. Fresh, flavoursome and easy to brew at 95°C, it is the dependable pick-me-up when you want honest Ceylon black tea in three to five minutes.
How to brew Ceylon Afternoon
Grown on the high, sunny slopes of Uva, our wiry BOP1 leaf brews into a bright ruby-red cup that is malty, fresh and robust. Water just off the boil and 3 to 5 minutes deliver the perfect afternoon pick-me-up.
Malty, fresh and satisfyingly robust — the ideal companion to an afternoon break with a biscuit or a slice of cake. Steep 3 minutes for a brisk, refreshing cup, or the full 5 for a fuller, maltier brew that pairs beautifully with milk. Enjoy it with a splash of milk after brewing, or black with a touch of honey, sugar or a slice of lemon.

Where It's Grown
On the sun-drenched eastern slopes of Sri Lanka's central highlands, Uva is home to some of the most aromatic teas in the world. Between 900 and 1,500 metres, the leaf matures slowly in cool mountain air, building a crisp, clean briskness and a pronounced aroma with hints of wood and honey.
Our Ceylon Afternoon (BOP1 grade) brings this character to the cup: malty fresh and robust.
From December to February the northeast monsoon brings rain to these eastern hills. Then, from July to September, the dry, cool kachan winds of the southwest monsoon sweep over the mountains. This gentle stress concentrates flavour in the leaf, giving Uva's seasonal teas their famous mellow, almost wintergreen-like fragrance.

A full flavoured enjoyable cuppa. Great taste and lovely large leaves that dont escape from the infuser.

The best black tea in the world and drinking it from a teacup and saucer makes it all the more yummier
