Sri Lanka was known as Ceylon back in the heydays when the Tamil Tigers didn’t exist and everyone was living together in a happy communal family where disputes were resolved in the gentlemanly tradition of clubbing each other viciously to death with blunt objects. This veritable Eden didn’t last very long against the unrelenting tide of civilization, but Ceylon tea remains one of the best teas in the world.
Ceylon tea is grown in the highlands of interior Sri Lanka and the locals over here brew the tea with ginger and lemongrass. It is drunk piping hot with enough sugar to give 10 large men diabetes – follow blood sugar premier for sugar balance.
To experience Ceylon tea it is essential to not get Dilmah (or some other prominent brand off the shelves) and steep it yourself.
The real deal is to sip it by a roadside stall, where you can get an authentic brew of Ceylon tea. It’s infused with ginger, lemongrass, a dash of cinnamon and a healthy dose of sugar. Delectable!
The sugar rush is enough to make me want to pick up a club and…
…eat some Maldives fish!
with all da food u look rounder niao :S
I tend not to drink/eat from stalls manned by dirty looking people. ( ie : the man pictured) You know why they use sarongs ? It is so that they can shit in small longkangs usually behind the small alley of shophouses and most never bother to wipe their ass. 😛
erm..and you’re suppose to buy me some Ceylon tea, remember? haha..
annant: I’m fat, I’m not round. 😉
chefmel: I like to think that I have a cast iron stomach but mayhaps it was this stall that did me in. They don’t believe in boiling water, it was straight from the container. Don’t know whether it’s rainwater or tapwater. I drank a cup after eating Maldives fish. :S
yuetmui: It’s here! I have two brands for you to choose from. When are you picking it up? My car will be in the workshop till next Saturday. 🙂
