Sri Lanka predominantly produces black tea, with various grades such as Orange Pekoe (OP) and Broken Orange Pekoe (BOP).

Specialized teas like Silver Tips, known for their delicate flavors, are also produced in limited quantities.

Many estates offer guided tours, providing insights into the cultivation and processing of tea.

The grading system categorizes tea based on leaf size, appearance, and quality.

Economic Impact:

Ceylon tea is a major export, contributing substantially to the country's foreign exchange earnings.

Cultural Significance:
