The most popular variant out of all types of Ceylon Tea, Black Teas present strong, crisp and sometimes mildly astringent flavours depending on the type of leaf that is brewed, the altitude in which it has been grown and harvested, and if there are two or more different kinds of leaves blended into the final product. Liquors of grades range from darkest (dark brown) to lightest (light orange), thereby depicting the strength, aroma and flavour of the tea.

Presenting a woody, earthy flavour and aroma, Ceylonese Green Tea bears a prominently darker hue than that of its traditional Chinese and Japanese counterparts, where Green Teas such as Chunmee feature lighter colours and a more nutty taste to the tongue.
