Which Basilur blends were recognized?
English Breakfast
Basilur English Breakfast is one of our bestsellers both domestically and internationally. It is a staple of any tea collection with an aromatic, crisp, and malty profile. We create this classic blend from pure Ceylon black tea harvested from high-altitude regions such as Dimbula and Nuwaraeliya, where the weather conditions create the perfect environment for growing tea. This ensures the rich flavors required by English Breakfast.
English Breakfast tea with a dash of milk and sugar is the perfect accompaniment to your breakfast. It will also allow you to experience a hearty English meal from the wonderful Victorian era. In addition to the award-winning teabags, this product is also available in 100g loose leaf cans.
Earl Grey
Earl Grey is a favorite among tea connoisseurs worldwide. Its lighter flavor notes compared to its older sister, English Breakfast, make this blend a wonderful afternoon tea. The Basilur Earl Grey blend is made from teas from lower regions, such as Rathnapura, which have lighter flavor profiles. These subtle flavors along with the citrus aromas of bergamot oil create an exquisite brew. This complex flavor profile also means that it doesn't necessarily require an additional milk element. You can enjoy this product in teabags or in 100g loose leaf cans.
Autumn Tea
Basilur Autumn Tea is an excellent reflection of our efforts to diversify your cup of tea by creating unique blends that evoke the regional flavors of different seasons. This blend also aligns with our goal to help you create associations between favorite memories and a cup of tea. This is done by introducing memorable flavors and aromas into our blends. It is a blend infused with the familiar autumnal flavors of maple with the finest Ceylon black tea, providing a smooth, silky taste and a soothing aroma. As the leaves turn earthy shades of red and yellow, the cool breeze around us brightens a special blend of autumn in a cup. In addition to teabags, this product is also available as loose leaf tea in our 100g tin containers.
Cream Fantasy
Another blend that beautifully illustrates Basilur's pursuit of combining the flavors of fruits and flowers with the finest Ceylon tea. Basilur Cream Fantasy is a delightful concoction of pure Ceylon green tea with strawberry enhanced by creamy flavors. This particular blend offers an aromatic and light flavor profile, creating a romantic experience. You can try this product in our 100g loose leaf containers.
We believe that providing a wide range of flavors blended with pure Ceylon tea is the best way to create authentic tea experiences for tea lovers worldwide. We are extremely grateful to the Guild of Fine Food (GFF) for recognizing our efforts in striving to rediscover the global tea industry.
