Mlesna Jasmine Black Tea is a flavoured Ceylon tea in bag format, made from pure Ceylon black tea with natural jasmine flavour extract. The pack contains 50 tea bags with a combined net weight of 100 grams, and is produced and packed in Sri Lanka by Mlesna (Ceylon) Ltd., a Colombo-based tea manufacturer that has been blending and exporting Ceylon teas since 1983.
The base tea is a fully oxidised Ceylon black tea, which gives the brew its characteristic depth and colour. Jasmine flavour is introduced through natural flavour extract, as declared on the pack, lending the cup a fragrant, floral character that sits alongside the body of the black tea rather than overwhelming it. The result is a cup that is aromatic without being sweet, and has enough structure to hold up both hot and cold.
Brewing is straightforward: place one tea bag in a teapot or cup, pour in hot water, and remove the bag after two to three minutes. The pack suggests serving hot with sugar to taste if desired. For a cold version, the brewed tea can be chilled in the refrigerator and served over ice cubes with sugar syrup to taste — a practical option in warmer climates or during summer months.
Storage is simple: keep the pack in a cool, dry place. The tea is registered with the Sri Lanka Tea Board, whose regulatory framework sets minimum quality standards for tea packed and exported from Sri Lanka. Mlesna (Ceylon) Ltd. holds Sri Lanka Tea Board registration number TC/E/PR/441/81, which appears on the pack.
