Ceylon tea is a type of tea that comes from Sri Lanka, which was formerly known as Ceylon (hence the name). It's not a specific type of tea like green or black—rather, it refers to the origin of the tea. Ceylon tea can be:
-
Green tea
-
White tea

Each variety has its own flavor, but Ceylon teas are generally known for their bright, bold, and brisk taste with citrusy or spicy notes.
A few quick facts:
-
Grown in high, mid, and low elevations, which affects flavor and strength.
-
High-grown Ceylon tea (like from Nuwara Eliya) is lighter and more floral.
-
Low-grown varieties are stronger and darker—often used in tea blends.
It's often enjoyed plain or with milk, and it's a staple in many English Breakfast or Earl Grey blends. It's also a major export for Sri Lanka and a source of national pride.
