Ceylon Tea

It’s not an empty boast when people from Sri Lanka claim that their tea is the best in the world and most experts agree with them. But if that’s all you know about the acclaimed Ceylon Tea then here are just a few more facts to help you get better acquainted with the world’s best-tasting tea.

Coffee, and not tea, was originally the primary crop produced and exported by Sri Lanka. A deadly virus, however, had devastated most coffee plants in the country during the 1860’s, forcing plantation owners to look for other crops to produce and prevent financial ruin.

It was in these critical times that James Taylor of Scotland entered the picture and introduced tea planting to Sri Lankans. Using the knowledge he had acquired from India, Taylor began the first experiments of tea planting in Sri Lanka. They produced successful results, and there was no looking back for Taylor or Sri Lanka since then. By 1890, tea production in Sri Lanka had been estimated to be at almost 23,000 tons.

Organic Tea

Nearly everyone’s going organic these days, thanks to disturbing news about pesticides and artificial processes that harm the body and affect our health. A simple fruit salad produced through conventional farming, for example, can actually be a disguised cocktail containing several chemicals, many of which remain in the body for several years. Little wonder people are turning to organic tea. Here are some things you didn’t know – but should know – about organic tea:

Organic tea might be more expensive than ordinary tea.

If you prefer to buy organic tea and other types of produce grown using organic farming methods, be prepared to spend a little bit more. Organically grown crops take more effort to nurture.

They also take a while to grow since they don’t benefit from the growth-enhancing properties introduced by artificial chemicals, such as those found in fertilizers. As a result, they are often sold as specialty crops and can be more expensive than traditionally grown plants.

As with many foods organic tea for some would be a choice that they would not hesitate to make when choosing a tea, natural foods for many are the only way to go. Many people think that organic means healthy and it has to be said there is much proof to back this up. What price do should we out on our health? well I for one know that I would happily pay an organic tea dealer a little more for the sake of keeping well, what say you.

Organic tea tip of the day ….

Take your time and choose a good tea dealer as there are many out there and some who are not so good as others, spend a few extra minutes and you will easily find the best merchant from one of the recommended suppliers.
