Description
Ceylon Green Dynasty Tea is a premium loose leaf green tea sourced from the renowned tea gardens nestled in the central highlands of Sri Lanka. Carefully hand-picked, this exceptional tea preserves the vibrant green hues of its leaves and retains the fresh, vegetal flavor that has made it a cherished choice among tea enthusiasts around the world.
Traditional and Modern Uses
For centuries, green tea has been valued not only as a daily beverage but also as an integral part of cultural rituals and social traditions, especially in Asian countries and regions like Sri Lanka. Ceylon Green Dynasty Tea continues this heritage by offering a gentle and versatile infusion enjoyed by people seeking a flavorful yet subtle alternative to stronger teas or coffee. While traditionally consumed as a hot brewed tea, its mild flavor profile makes it equally suitable for modern preparations such as cold infusions and iced teas, ideal for warmer seasons or refreshing breaks throughout the day. Beyond beverage use, this tea’s light, fresh qualities allow it to be creatively incorporated into culinary applications, from flavoring desserts and baked goods to enhancing smoothies.
Preparation Methods
Hot Infusion
Use 2 grams (about 1 teaspoon) of Ceylon Green Dynasty Tea per 200 ml of water heated to 75–80°C. Steep gently for 2 to 3 minutes to extract delicate flavors without bitterness. Avoid boiling water to preserve the tea’s smooth, fresh notes and prevent any harsh or overly astringent taste. This method produces a light, refreshing cup that highlights the natural vegetal and subtly sweet characteristics of the tea leaves.
Cold Brew
Place 3 to 4 grams of loose leaves tea in cold, filtered water and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours. The slow, gentle extraction process creates a smooth, naturally sweet infusion with a light body and bright flavor. Cold brewing reduces bitterness and highlights the tea’s subtle freshness, making it perfect for chilled summer drinks or hydrating beverages throughout the day.
Culinary Use
Desserts: Incorporate brewed green tea or powdered leaves into cakes, cookies, panna cotta, or ice cream to add a gentle, refreshing taste and a subtle green color. The mild vegetal flavor enhances the sweetness of desserts without overpowering other ingredients.
Smoothies: Add brewed tea or matcha-style powdered green tea to smoothies for a fresh, slightly grassy note. This addition not only boosts the flavor complexity but also adds a natural antioxidant-rich element to your blend, making it both tasty and nutritious.
Beverage Mixes: Mix brewed Ceylon Green Dynasty Tea with other herbal infusions or fruit juices to create unique, flavorful drinks suited to various tastes and occasions.
Suggested Herbal Blends
Ceylon Green Dynasty Tea’s mild and fresh flavor profile makes it an excellent base for blending with other botanicals from Health Embassy, enhancing both aroma and taste while creating unique herbal experiences. Some of the most harmonious blends include:

- Chamomile Flowers: Known for their gentle sweetness and calming fragrance, chamomile flowers soften the infusion’s flavor while lending aromatic depth and a soothing quality that makes the tea ideal for relaxation.
Together, these botanicals create a layered and nuanced drinking experience, perfect for those who appreciate exploring diverse herbal profiles or customizing their daily tea ritual with flavorful variations.
