How one blend of 100% Ceylon tea can differ so from another seems curious to those of us who are not familiar with the intricacies of the Camellia sinensis plant, otherwise known as the tea bush. But a journey around the tea plantations will immediately provide the answer. Sri Lanka is the home of Ceylon tea and it offers a wondrous variety of growing regions, each of which yields a different flavour. Growing the tea at a medium altitude gives this tea a lighter, fresher flavour than its lower grown, strong and malty counterparts used for English Breakfast Tea.
