Lover's Leap

Black Tea by Capital Teas

Experience this orthodox Ceylon tea from Nuwara Eliya with a light, fresh, flowery taste. It is a pure orange pekoe, bright with excellent flowery flavor that tends to yield a somewhat light cup. An excellent example of the process of the ‘agony of the leaf’, where the leaf uncurls and expands quite dramatically. Don’t let the tragic story of love lost keep you from embracing this wonderful tea.

This is a fine and smooth Ceylon—great for breakfast, and thanks to Nicole!

This is one of those nice nondescript black teas that are just flat good to drink; no one aspect asserts itself, but you look at your cup five minutes later and it’s gone. Just slips right past you comfortably.

Not a huge wake-up kick, but (for once) I didn’t need one … jet lag and intense schedule caught up with me and I slept from 9 pm to 7:15 this morning. Can’t tell you the last time I did that.

If I had to trim the pantry down to a dozen or so essentials (ha! put two tea packets in a basket and leave them unattended, they mate and multiply!) I think this one would be in it. Just a nice, clean, not-too-astringent Ceylon that needs no fussing, no additions.

Trying to re-start the digestive system after an evening of oh-no- I can’t-get-sick nausea, this was a good start. Basic. Sturdy.

My appreciation to Nicole for introducing this one to me!
