Ceylon tea
One of the world's most popular
TEAs, Ceylon is a black PEKOE
TEA whose leaves have been fermented before drying. A two-temperature drying process seals in essential oils that give this
TEA its special flavor. This superior
TEA originated in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), but is now grown in other countries such as India and China. See also
TEA.
