Ceylon is a black tea from Sri Lanka, blended from several Ceylon leaf varieties into one steady cup. It smells sweet, drinks mild and full, and has none of the sharpness that makes some black teas hard work later in the day. That is why it is a tea you can keep pouring from morning to evening. 100 g of loose leaf, weighed and packed by Café du Jour in Maasland.

Details

Ceylon black tea

Ceylon is a black tea from Sri Lanka; Ceylon is what the island used to be called, and the name stayed with the tea. This is a blend of several Ceylon leaf varieties rather than a single garden. The cup is sweet-smelling and mild, full without being heavy, and it never turns sharp on you. It is one of the Café du Jour loose-leaf teas, weighed and packed at our own tea packing house in the Maasland countryside in the Netherlands.

Brewing it

Use about 2 g of leaf per cup. Black tea is not delicate about temperature, so water straight off the boil is right, and three to five minutes is the range. Take the strainer or the filter out when the time is up: leave the leaf sitting in the pot and this blend goes strong and slightly astringent, which is about the only way to get it wrong. At 2 g a cup, a 100 g pack gives you roughly 50 cups.

FAQ

Customer Questions

What kind of tea is the Ceylon from Café du Jour?

Ceylon is a black tea from Sri Lanka. This blend is made up of various fine Ceylon varieties and is sweet-smelling, mild and full of flavour. It is easy to drink, which makes it a tea you can drink all day long. The pack contains 100 grams of loose-leaf tea.

Does Ceylon black tea contain caffeine?

Yes. Ceylon is a true black tea from the tea plant and naturally contains caffeine, also known as theine. How much ends up in your cup depends on your dosage and steeping time: the longer you let it steep, the more caffeine. If you are looking for a cup without caffeine, have a look at rooibos or herbal tea.

How do you make Ceylon black tea taste best?

We advise about 2 grams of loose leaf tea per cup. Black tea may be brewed hotter than green tea, so use water that has just boiled. Let the leaves steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Take the filter out of your cup or pot afterwards, because with a longer steeping time this blend becomes strong and slightly astringent.

How many cups do you get from 100 grams of Ceylon loose-leaf tea?

Allow about 2 grams of loose-leaf tea per cup. So from this pack of 100 grams you get roughly 50 cups. If you make the tea stronger or use a whole pot, you end up with fewer cups.

How should you store Ceylon loose-leaf tea?

Store this loose-leaf tea dry, dark and well sealed, for example in the original bag or in a tea tin. Heat, light and moisture are the biggest enemies of loose-leaf tea. Ideally, do not put the tea next to strongly scented herbs or coffee, because tea leaves absorb odours easily. To brew it you need a tea strainer or filter bag.
