Ceylon black tea
I think it is a recent price change (last two years)

I sampled couple of years in the past. They all have lower low grown prices. 2019-2023 Low grown seems to be high.

I take Ceylon tea quite often, it's like a 5 o'clock thing but have not had much luck with ordering the one I used to find locally before. I think it was a st.james but very aromatic and smooth with a light touch of astringence. Have not been able to find it anymore unfortunately despite trying a lot of S.James
This one is from Teewald and it has been one of my favorite.
Where do you order ceylons?

Can someone explain how Ceylons are graded?
For example, the most expensive ones are usually the FBOPF Ex. Sp. graded ones, but these are broken leaves. Does Ceylon rely on broken leaves to make a good flavor? Also, orange pekoe is not considered high quality, even though it is one of the only whole-leaf grades. Why is that?
