Owl Art - Ceylon Tea (Original Mixed Media Artwork)

            This is my original mixed media artwork on acid free design paper using oil pastels,acrylic paints and paper. This artwork measures 6 by 6 inches.

Ophelia The Owl immerses herself in the aromatic scent and taste of Ceylon Tea, enjoying her new found love for TeaSophy.

Ceylon tea is a particularly prized form of black tea from Sri Lanka. It has a golden color and rich, intense flavor which many tea consumers greatly appreciate, and it is used straight as well as in tea blends. Sri Lanka is one of the largest tea producers in the world, and Ceylon tea can be found all over the world as a result. Particularly fine highland varieties can also get quite costly, as they have a rich taste and strong aroma favored by some consumers.

Sri Lanka was known as Ceylon under colonialism, and the name has stuck for the tea. Tea was first introduced to the country as a crop in 1867, to replace a devastated coffee crop. Tea producers quickly began to produce tea with a unique flavor and color, and Ceylon tea began to experience high demand. The majority of Ceylon tea is grown in the highlands of the country, with lower elevation teas being used as filler in tea blends.
