11 Tasting Notes

This is supposedly the perfect foundation for a good punch – just brew long and dark, and add your alcohol of choice (sweet Rum is the obvious choice).
As it is, it is a good, aromatic brew – with two spoon-fulls of brown sugar it is perfect as a late night cup.
Without sugar, might work well with spiced meats and saffron-flavored dishes in particular.

Good summer drink – ice-cold on a hot afternoon, or warm (but not hot!) on a cooler evening.
Requires long steeping time to taste better.
Use brown sugar liberally.

drank Ceylon by Pickwick

Pickwick used to be my grandmother’s tea of choice, so there is a sentimental element to my opinion.
Good with some milk, if you are into that sort of thing.

Cofftea

Yay for sentimental tea even if it isn’t superior!:)

My favourite for late night consumption – not too strong, nice with two spoons of sugar.
Increasingly hard to find.

I grew up believing this was the only tea available on the market.
Essential, the tea for all seasons.

Not excessively spiced, good for late night drinking, or to go with spiced meats at dinner.
