Sarnia Estate Ceylon Pekoe from The East India Company

gmathis drank Sarnia Estate Ceylon Pekoe by The East India Company

Just enough for a snow-day pot of this one. Fortuitously, I planned a day off for today anyway to stay home and keep shoveling…paperwork, not precipitation.

Just a good, basic, can’t-ruin-it Ceylon—even with a sloppy microwave reheat after it sat cold most of the morning.

did you order it from the website or can you find it in the states as well?

This was a sample received for www.itsallabouttheleaf.com. I’ve poked around the website, but not much … I don’t recall seeing any mention of U.S. storefronts or distributors.

I wonder how this tea in comparison with UVA Shawlands Estate Orange Pekoe by The East India Company?
It says “East India Company Sarnia estate tea is produced in Uva region of Sri Lanka”.
I really love a very strong “UVA” flavour of UVA Shawlands Estate Orange Pekoe. I wonder how is this one?

Anybody can share experience please?

Bio

Somebody asked me once when I became a tea junkie; I think it dates back to college when I needed caffeine for a 7 a.m. class but chose not to do coffee. My favorite teapot is a medium-sized Brown Betty given to me by my Mema; the painted flowers are chipping off, but the size and feel is perfect. I rejoice when I get a morning to brew a pot of loose tea starting with a kettle; not a bag and a hot pot.
