Backlogging a cup from this morning. Almost through a 2oz pouch of this tea. But plenty more is at hand.
I love the new verdant tea canisters. They are very attractive, and I “accidentally” left one in my tea cupboard, instead of gifting it away :)

Had this with milk and sugar, and blueberry muffins that I just made. This tea is rather on the rough side without milk, and improves immensely with it

Having this as an evening treat, together with some roasted chestnuts.
Also – just reached the 200 reviews milestone! Woot!

This is getting to be one of my regular teas, and I really can’t explain it. I have higher quality teas at hand, but when I want a warm tea-with-milk or evening pick me up, I keep on reaching for this fellow.
The leaves of this tea are very fine cut, so it does make for a not so fun post-tea cleanup.

Had a cup of this yesterday morning, instead of my morning coffee. A very satisfying Assam – bold, bass-y, slightly nutty, very malty.

Sip down! This is a good tea, although a little on the weak side.

Thank you for this sample Terri! It’s nice with some honey and dark raisin notes, and I love the way that the dark leaves look like. It’s a good Yunnan tea, and I’ll probably order some when I (finally) break down and place an order with Butiki.

I had another cup of this last night, with milk. Ceylon has been used to death, and so many tea lovers have fallen out of love with it. Buy good Ceylons are versatile, if a little astringent, friends, and they make wonderfully fragrant brews, both hot and cold, with milk or without. They are also make for an unobtrusive base for any home-made blend that you want to make, and go well with lemon, Moroccan mint, mint, oranges, etc. This tea is my favourite BOP Ceylon blend, and is fantastically well behaved and dependable. And I just love the very “tea” smell of it when I open the caddy.
Don’t give up on Ceylons just yet, that is all that I’m saying. They are the bread and butter of tea, IMHO.

Had two cups of this yesterday, and both of spun golden sweetness. A fantastic tea, that is worth stockpiling

Curses at F&M for discontinuing this blend. Had it with milk, and it was brisk and wonderful, as usual. My personal Jeeves in the form of a tea – or maybe that is just the fever talking.
