錫蘭紅茶

享譽世界，有綠色伊甸園之稱的斯里蘭卡，曾稱為錫蘭 (CEYLON)，於1972年才正式改稱為斯里蘭卡 (SRI LANKA)，因為當地的紅茶事業崛起於英國統治的錫蘭時代，也是英國人一手開發出來的世界飲茶事業，於是錫蘭紅茶之名一直沿用至今。

斯里蘭卡眾多廣大茶園中，努亞伊利亞（NUWARAELIYA）這個城市的茶葉品質數一數二，亦是每年吸引最多遊人參觀的一個地方 。努亞伊利亞茶園位於海拔2000公尺的山區，每年平均降雨量達兩千毫米，是保持茶葉品質的最理想的降雨量，而且該處地勢很高，完全占盡天時地利的優厚條件，再加上在十九世紀英國殖民期間由印度引進斯里蘭卡的泰米爾人在茶園當採茶工人，錫蘭紅茶有今天的成就泰米爾人功不可沒。

Ceylon Tea

The world-renowned Ceylon Tea comes from Sri Lanka, the Green Eden Garden. Yet, why isn’t it named “Sri Lankan Tea”? As a matter of fact, Ceylon used to be the official name of Sri Lanka until 1972. During her colonial era, the ruler, i.e. the British government, fostered the development of local tea industry and promoted Ceylon Tea to the world. That’s when and why the name of Ceylon Tea started to be recognized.

Among numerous extensive tea gardens in Sri Lanka, NUWARAELIYA is one of the cities where the best quality black tea is grown and produced; she has become a wonderful attraction to tourists too. Situated in hilly regions with an average relief of 2000 feet, it has an abundant precipitation input exceeding 2000mm. Apart from such ideal physical conditions, Tamilian tea garden workers from India also contribute to the reputation of Ceylon Tea from Sri Lanka.

Classification of Ceylon Tea

Ceylon Tea is generally divided into high, medium, and low grown and then graded according to its size, colour, flavour, etc.

1) B.O.P. is processed by mechanical rubbing and grinding and has a relatively coarse texture (2-3mm). It has a light colour but stronger aroma.

2) B.O.P.F. contains tea tips and is finer (1-2mm) than B.O.P. in terms of size. It has moderately good aroma and colour, which are favourable for quick brewing.

3) DUST is the finest grained tea out of three. It is in powder form and has a darker colour but light aroma.
