backlogging yesterday’s GM Grab Bag Extravaganza :-) “French Breakfast”…not a name or type that I’ve heard before..might as well call it “Queensland Extra”. Seriously, I think they made up the name. Nonetheless, this was a fine Ceylon with a nice bright and sparkly appearance in the carafe. A bit of an earthy undertone, but with the normal briskness I expect of a Ceylon tea. I’d put it in the good/average class for a Ceylon…which means I’d be happy to drink it any day. I got two 12 oz steepings from the sample, the second being a bit peaked.
This is You :-D

I’m not much active on Steepster because I haven’t been trying a lot of different tea lately. I have been buying M.T. Wendell’s Cheericup Ceylon because it is my favorite. That said, gifts of tea drop in every once in awhile and I try to bring my impressions here.
I am unashamedly stealing this rating description from Morgana.
95-100 A once in a lifetime experience; the best there is
90-94 Excellent; first rate; top notch; really terrific; will definitely buy more
80-89 Very good; will likely buy more
70-79 Good; would enjoy again, might buy again
60-69 Okay; wouldn’t pass up if offered, but likely won’t buy again
Below 60 Meh, so-so, iffy, or ick. The lower the number, the closer to ick.
