What Is Ceylon Tea?
Ceylon tea is tea grown in Sri Lanka—known as Ceylon until 1972. It covers black and green styles whose flavour shifts with elevation and district, from bright high-grown cups to fuller low-grown brews.
At TEA TOP we sell 100% pure Ceylon tea as loose leaf, pyramid tea bags and gift tins for everyday brewing and gifting in Australia—classic black blends, greens, and flavoured Ceylon favourites.

Ceylon Growing Regions
Sri Lanka’s tea districts each leave a signature on the cup. High-grown areas such as Nuwara Eliya tend toward lighter, floral liquor; mid-grown Dimbula and Uva bring balance and aroma; low-grown Ruhuna is fuller and stronger.
