Have you ever wondered if the tea you drank this morning was truly a cup of real tea, or is there a deeper experience waiting for you to discover!

Tea lovers worldwide have a special connection with their daily cup of tea. It’s most often the best way to start the day. Drinking tea regularly could be a habitual practice, a calming ritual, a vibrant boost or a social tradition.

However sadly, in today’s fast paced world the true meaning of tea drinking has been lost amidst a sea of mass produced inferior products, little capable of offering what a true cup of tea can. The art of tea drinking is now a lost art. The vibrant tea packs that line the store shelves can easily entice but can it match up to the priceless quality, taste and aroma of the real thing?

Hedley’s Tea originating from tea country Sri Lanka (previously known as Ceylon) is poised to redefine the North American tea drinking experience, resuming the timeless tradition that has been cherished for centuries, with luxury pyramid tea bags, each containing premium pure Ceylon orthodox tea. These teas are packed within days of plucking the fresh green leaves, ensuring the valuable health properties and goodness is retained. This is not so for most of the leading brands, which are packed outside the origin and so lose their freshness while aging in transit and warehouses.

The Decline in Quality of Tea in the Modern Market

The quality of tea in the North American market has slowly deteriorated over the years, Supermarket shelves are stocked with products that seem varied but in fact have very little to offer in terms of real quality tea. These teas are mainly of the CTC (Crush, Teat, Curl) types from Africa and India. They are manufactured for one objective: mass production through maximization of profits. In the process, it has lost the essence of tea as a beverage to be enjoyed for its rich taste, aroma and immense health benefits.

What is Orthodox tea?

The difference between ‘normal’ tea and the high-quality orthodox tea from Ceylon is immense. The difference lies in their methods of processing: it is mechanically treated to crush, tear, and curl leaves into those small, even-sized pellets. This allows mass production and is usually used in tea bags.

On the other hand, orthodox tea is truly produced by a traditional and labor-intensive production process. Leaves are carefully hand-plucked and then processed through techniques passed down through the ages. With great care, the leaves are rolled, twisted, and shaped so as not to lose their natural essence and aroma. This careful processing allows the tea to develop complex flavors, making it a rich, deeply satisfying brew.

Orthodox tea leaves are usually whole and, as a rule, longish and thin in appearance. These leaves unfurl slowly during brewing, releasing their rich-complex flavors and aromas.
