Ceylon Nuwara Eliya

Black Tea by Drink T

Ceylon is the former name of the island nation Sri Lanka, located just off the southeastern coast of India. The name of the country was changed in 1972 but the teas are still known as Ceylon’s.

The Nuwara Eliya region is home to the highest-situated tea estates in Sri Lanka. Teas from this district have earned the designation “Champagne of Ceylon” teas.

Our Nuwara Eliya is selected from the highest quality leaves. It brews a bright, strong and highly flavorful cup.

A beautiful liquor in every way – to the eye, to the nose and to the palate! It has a lovely fragrance that is fruity and spicy and even a bit woodsy. It is a very good, complex Ceylon. Invigorating with a clean aftertaste.

Today after I steeped this cup, I smelled the aroma of cocoa! This tea is full of surprises. Here is my full-length review of it: http://www.teareviewblog.com/?p=14581

LOVE the color of this! Very Vibrant! It’s also VERY flavorful – bold and slightly tart or on the verge of bitter but a good bitter and very slight. Refreshing aftertaste that lingers.

Backlogging 2 cups…very nice!

Crisp and a beautiful brew this morning! YUM!

Hints of fruit, spice, earthy-goodness! This one is super nice today!
