In the world of tea, there are names that immediately evoke associations with quality, tradition, and unique flavor profiles. One of them is Ceylon tea (Eng. Ceylon Tea) – aromatic, strong, and exceptionally pure tea from the mountain plantations of Sri Lanka. The Marida Tea brand, owned by Aslan Food, offers a selected line of Ceylon teas, whose quality is appreciated by both the HoReCa industry and individual consumers.
What is Ceylon Tea?
Ceylon tea is a term reserved exclusively for teas originating from Sri Lanka – a country with an incredibly diverse climate and specific microclimate for cultivation. Thanks to geographical conditions (altitude, humidity, intense sunlight), tea leaves develop unique phenolic compounds that determine their intense aroma and taste.
Sri Lanka is currently the fourth largest tea producer in the world, and Ceylon Tea guarantees origin, quality, and production standards. Export is conducted exclusively under the supervision of the Sri Lanka Tea Board.
Why is Ceylon Tea Considered the Best?
01. Origin and terroir
The finest Ceylon plantations are located above 1,200 meters above sea level (known as high-grown), where cool nights and mists create ideal conditions for slow leaf growth. This results in higher concentrations of aromatic substances – primarily catechins, theaflavins, and thearubigins, which are responsible for intense flavor and antioxidant properties.
02. Diverse flavor profile
Ceylon Tea from regions such as Uva, Nuwara Eliya, and Dimbula offers various bouquets – from delicate and floral to deeply earthy and citrusy. This makes it a tea valued both on its own and as a base for premium blends.
03. Purity of cultivation
Sri Lanka maintains a rigorous system for controlling pesticides and fertilizers. Ceylon tea is one of the purest on the market, as confirmed by independent laboratory tests. Production follows ISO 3720 standards and a quality control system that incorporates the traditional production process.
Health Benefits of Ceylon Tea
Scientific research confirms that Ceylon tea contains:
- polyphenols with antioxidant properties – fighting free radicals and supporting the prevention of lifestyle diseases,
- theanine – a substance that has a calming effect on the nervous system,
- natural caffeine – provides stimulation, but more gently than coffee.
High theaflavin content positively affects the lipid profile and may help reduce LDL cholesterol. Drinking 2-3 cups daily can bring measurable health benefits.
