Organic Ceylon Green CBSP Tea

Organic Ceylon Green CBSP Tea is a premium Sri Lankan green tea with a distinctive character that sets it apart from Chinese and Japanese green teas. CBSP stands for “Chunky Bold Special Pekoe,” a leaf grade that indicates larger, chunkier leaf pieces with bold flavor. This is a green tea with personality — brighter, more assertive, and uniquely tropical compared to East Asian varieties.

Flavor Profile

Ceylon green CBSP produces a bright, slightly nutty cup with a smooth body and a refreshing, mildly vegetal finish. Unlike the grassy sweetness of Japanese green teas or the smoky notes of Chinese varieties, Ceylon green tea has a cleaner, more straightforward character with subtle tropical hints. The CBSP grade brews quickly and delivers a full-flavored cup with minimal bitterness.

How to Brew Ceylon Green Tea

Use one teaspoon per 8 ounces of water heated to 175°F (80°C). Steep for 2 to 3 minutes for a light, refreshing cup, or up to 4 minutes for a stronger brew. Avoid boiling water, which can make green tea bitter. The leaves can be re-steeped once or twice. Ceylon green tea also makes an excellent iced tea — cold-brew overnight in the refrigerator for a smooth, refreshing pitcher.

Popular Uses

Tea brands use Ceylon green CBSP as a standalone single-origin offering, as a base for flavored green tea blends with jasmine, mint, or citrus, and in wellness tea formulations. Its bold character holds up well when blended, making it a reliable workhorse for tea product lines.

Sourcing and Quality

Hatton Naturals sources its certified organic Ceylon green CBSP tea directly from small-scale farm co-ops in Sri Lanka’s renowned tea-growing highlands. Each batch is carefully processed to preserve the leaf’s bright color and clean flavor. Store in an airtight, opaque container away from light, heat, and strong odors.
