The word Ceylon in Ceylon tea comes from the original name of Sri Lanka when it was a British colony. Sri Lanka kept the name Ceylon for about a quarter after independence. Those colonies were known to produce some of the most prized teas in the world.

Every region in Sri Lanka yields a slightly different type of tea with its own distinguishable taste.

In the 1890s Ceylon tea had started to reach its tea fame. “Ceylon Fever” had hit the United Kingdom and Ceylon tea began to be sold at the London auctions for a record-breaking price of almost £2, (over £70 today). Legend has it that Queen Victoria was a big fan of Ceylon tea for her afternoon cup, and was said to fling her teacup across the room if she found the tea not up to her standards!
