St Clairs Ceylon black tea

Ceylon black tea is a type of tea produced in the highlands of Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon. It has a rich flavor and fragrant aroma, with notes of citrus and spice. Ceylon black tea is made from the dried and processed leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis, and may have several health benefits, such as:

Aiding weight loss. Ceylon black tea may help reduce body weight by blocking the digestion and absorption of fat and activating an enzyme that breaks down fat cells.

Improving blood sugar control. Ceylon black tea may help lower blood sugar levels and prevent spikes after meals by inhibiting the activity of certain enzymes that digest carbohydrates.

Enhancing heart health. Ceylon black tea may help lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, which are risk factors for heart disease. It may also prevent the oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol, which can cause plaque buildup in the arteries.

Ceylon black tea can be brewed with boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your preference. You can enjoy it plain or with lemon, honey, milk, or sugar. It contains a small amount of caffeine and several trace minerals, such as manganese, cobalt, chromium, and magnesium.
