For the past century of the history of tea, Ceylon Black Tea is the most famous and loved for its taste and richness. To relish its real taste, it has to go through a withering process. The moisture content of the plucked leaves is reduced approximately by 50%. Thereafter the leaves are rolled by mechanical tea rollers to separate and break them into parts. This process of breaking up the leaves leads to a chemical reaction that is catalyzed by the enzymes in the leaf. Ceylon Black tea contains more caffeine than the rest of the varieties. Black tea is best grown in a climate that is hot as well as moist at the same time. As a result of Sri Lanka being close to the equator, the climatic conditions are ideal to grow and produce Black tea. Tea is grown in numerous estates around the country. In return, it gives distinctive qualities that vary due to its altitude. High grown tea has a honey golden liquor. It is light and considered to be one of the best-tasting teas around the world because of its well-defined flavor, aroma, and strength.
