Brewed a batch of this midmorning. It is a ceylon. It is a very good example of a ceylon, but it is, nevertheless, ceylon-y to its core. It is not a Piccadilly Blend kind of ceylon, that is nice and friendly to newcomers to the ceylon world. Oh no. It assumes that you knew what you were getting yourself into when you took the first sip. Think about juicy, flavoursome, fragrant plums, that are the very plum of plums – but also have that wonderful tanginess that certain plums have that puts non plum people off plums for good? Well this is just like that. And there’s also something plum-y in its flavour.
I like plums.

It’s a very good Ceylon, but I’m not giving it a higher rating, because it’s one of those Ceylons that’s for people who like Ceylons. It is astringent, and has a distinct fruity, plum and raisin taste that some people don’t like. I happen to love it. If you’re a Ceylon person, then I most certainly recommend.

Bio

An Israeli computer programmer with a passion for tea (mostly bought in yearly shopping sprees in the UK), particularly black, oolong and white. I don’t generally enjoy flavoured teas or herbal infusions, but if a tea sounds interesting and smells nice I’ll most definitely try it. I drink several cups of tea a day, usually one or two in the morning, another one after lunch and one or two in the evening. My favourite tea so far is Lao Cong Zi Ya from Norbu Tea, but I’m constantly trying new teas. Only in the past year have I branched into Pu’erh and non-roasted oolongs. Finding good tea in Israel is difficult, so I import most of my teas from yearly visits to London, or from online retailers. If you see something in my cupboard that sparks your interest and you would like to swap with me, then please message me. I’m almost always up for a swap.
