Mevlana Tea
The Miracle of Sri Lanka and Ceylon Tea
The word Ceylon lives on through tea
The words Sri Lanka and tea are so closely linked that tea plantations and factories can be found in almost every city in the country. The name of this country has changed several times throughout history, but one thing that has never changed is the name Ceylon tea.
When the Arabs discovered this island, they called it Serendip Island because they found unexpected things there that fascinated them. After many years, this name was replaced by Ceylon. The current name has been in use since 1972.
The island is famous not only for its tea but also for its natural beauty and fresh air. One of Sri Lanka’s attractions is Adam’s Peak, near the capital, Colombo. A monastery is located on this mountain, where a very large footprint can be seen.
Sinhalese people revere it as the footprint of Buddha, Muslims as the footprint of Adam, and Christians as the footprint of the Apostle Thomas. As a result, the mountain is a place that brings together tourists and pilgrims from many different ethnicities and religions.
Organic tea harvesting: Ceylon tea
On this island, where the refreshing ocean breeze never fails to bring monsoon rains, tea is grown using traditional methods, so it can only be described as organic tea. The island’s inhabitants harvest tea by hand without using any tools, carefully selecting both the softest and hardest leaves.
For 40 years, this premium tea has reached European tables as Mevlana Ceylon Tea. Mevlana Tea by Goran Tee is particularly popular and premium in its dust-free form. Tea lovers can also enjoy a luxurious blend of Ceylon tea.
