Make it a Latte!

What could be better than a heavenly cup of Kelly's Fine Tea?  Well, nothing of course!  Unless you turn that heavenly cup into a luscious latte. 

A tea latte is extra strong tea with hot steamed milk added to it, usually with sugar.  Making your own latte at home only requires a few steps, and no fancy equipment!  Follow these steps to make 2 small, or 1 large latte.

1.  Steam 1/2 cup of milk - Put milk in a pot on stovetop over low heat.  Start whisking and continue to whisk as the milk heats up, but do not let it boil.  Once it is heated through and foamed, remove from heat.

2.  Steep extra strong tea - Use about 3-4 tsp. of loose tea leaves for 1 cup of boiling water.  Steep for the usual time as indicated on the package label.  Pour the steeped tea into your cup and add desired amount of sugar.

3. Mix milk & tea - Add the steamed milk to your cup of tea, give it a little stir and it's ready to enjoy! 

All types of tea can be used to make a latte.  Our Masala Chai and our Dessert Blends make excellent lattes!

Ceylon Tea Trails

Isn't that a pretty sight?  Imagine yourself in a comfy wicker armchair, on a beautiful veranda overlooking the hills of a tea plantation, sipping tea that grew on those very hills.

Ceylon Tea Trails is one of the top 10 All Inclusive Resorts in the World, according to TripAdvisors Travelers Choice 2011 Awards.  There's no question, this trip to Sri Lanka would be the ultimate tea experience. 

The Resident Tea Planter, will show you first hand the age-old tea making process. First, follow the trail of the planters of old Ceylon, as they trekked through the dense jungle looking for the best slopes on which to plant tea. Then on to watch the tea pluckers pick two leaves and a bud with deft hands. Then to the factory where the all-important conversion to "made" black tea happens.

You're sure to enjoy your stay in a suite at any of the 4 luxury tea plantation bungalows. Each bungalow has a manager, a chef and a butler to ensure superb service.  You'll also have access to the many hiking and biking trails, tennis courts, and spa services.
