Red Tea
Ceylon Red Tea is produced entirely from the leaves of the tea plant Camellia Sinensis and utilizes no foreign substances to influence the unique colour. Unlike green tea it is highly oxidized and is produced using special technology.
Never before has red tea been produced in Sri Lanka and this is due to the lack of know-how and expertise. Sri Lanka records the worlds highest levels of antioxidants found in tea leaves and certain high grown teas have been found to have red colouring in the leaves, a desirable characteristic in the production of supreme quality red teas.
Ceylon red tea has increased health properties, compared to normal green and black teas. Concentrations of polyphenolic antioxidants (Catechins) in it exceeds 24% (on a dry mass basis), and is probably the highest in the world among known teas. It is recognized as a nutritious food source with superior rejuvenating benefits.
Ceylon red tea is truly a gift from paradise.
