The blend
Ceylon is sourced from the tea plantations of Sri-Lanka, formerly Ceylon, which lie close to the equator, giving the perfect conditions for slowly growing this tea at high altitudes. This pack contains 125g of loose leaf Ceylon, which is considered one of the best tasting teas, with its distinct flavour, aroma and strength.
The taste
With its crisp aroma and pale, orange colour, this blend is best enjoyed with milk or a slice of lemon. Ceylon has a brisk, tiger balm flavour and is full of character.
The benefit
Black tea contains polyphenols, a type of antioxidant. Caffeine and an amino acid called L-theanine are also found in black tea, which is said can improve alertness and focus – even more than coffee!
The moment
This tea is to be enjoyed at any time of the day, from your first cup in the morning through to your last brew as you wind down in the evening.
The creation
Using traditional methods of blending and tasting, this tea has been carefully crafted by the Miles team, using Miles experTeas!
Based on the edge of Exmoor and on Somerset’s coastline, we take inspiration from our beautiful surroundings to create a cuppa that embodies a little escape, evoking memories of a holiday in the West Country, with each sip. Our attention to detail and experience ensures a consistent, flavourful tea that will see you constantly topping up your mug.
