"Riston" - tea that appeared on the shelves of Russian stores a little more than ten years ago. But this time was quite enough for the drink to earn the respect of experts and gain popularity with a solid army of buyers. What is this product really and what is its secret? It is worth talking about this in more detail.
Interesting to know
According to legend, the history of the Riston trademark began in the 19th century, when its future founder, Earl George Stuart, went to the distant island of Ceylon to grow unique tea varieties. Having bought several hectares of fertile land located at an altitude of 1050-1650 meters above sea level, he broke his plantations on them. After only six years, the first Riston varieties were developed. Tea grown in the highlands of Dimbula was notable for its enviable strength and amazing aromatic infusion.
The year 1860 was a turning point in the history of the development of the drink. At this time, adverse weather conditions destroyed numerous coffee plantations. This situation gave a strong impetus to the development of tea production. The company acquired new land, which made it possible to increase production volumes. The raw materials coming from the high mountain regions were of higher quality. This led to the fact that the company was able to become one of the three leaders supplying fragrant products to the countries of the Old World. Legend also says that "Riston" is tea that the Queen of England admired. Having tried a new drink once at lunch, she was delighted and ordered to establish constant deliveries of this product to the yard. Today, Riston is the tea that millions admire. Thanks to the latest technology and professionalism of local testers, the company was able to take a leading position not only at home in Sri Lanka, but also around the world.
Original packaging
It is very easy to find out Riston tea in the distribution network. A photo will help you closer look at the original packaging, the design of which the company management attaches special importance to. Most often this is an ordinary cardboard box, the development of which the company's designers worked together with specialists from the well-known branding agency Depot WPF.
The information on the packaging is extremely clear and easy to read. Designers paid special attention to the brand name. The name of the company is enclosed in a curly quadrangle of bright red color, crowned with a coat of arms and placed on a contrasting blue background. An inscription flaunts in gold letters beneath it, which means “exclusive quality” in English. The package contains a detailed description of this variety and convenient navigation to other tastes. Some of them even allow you to understand from afar which product is inside them. Recently, a lot of interesting gift wraps have appeared in the form of cardboard and tin boxes of various shapes. Many of them are confined to specific dates (for example, Christmas). This causes keen interest among buyers and, accordingly, increases the rating of the company itself.
Views from
Nowadays, probably, there is no such person who would never try Riston tea. Reviews from most of them indicate that the product is deservedly considered one of the best teas in the world.
True fans call it the best example of true English tea traditions. This is understandable, because on plantations, workers collect from the bushes only the top leaves, covered with a velvet fluff of thin fibers. Technologists carefully monitor that they are sure to be preserved after processing.

Customer reviews only confirm this opinion. Basically, buyers note the bright, unique taste of the drink, as well as its charming, excellent aroma.
