House Ceylon

Black Tea by Drink The Leaf

Great color and aromas and a natural sweetness on the finish. A smooth and great everyday tea. If you are not familiar with Ceylon tea, try our house blend. A great toffee color, aromas of honey, dried apples, and caramel – a natural sweetness on the finish.
Region: Sri Lanka
Steeping Instructions: 1 tsp per 6oz water/203°F/3~5 min

There is a nice natural honey sweetness to this tea but it isn’t at all complex. It is very smooth but I tend to prefer my breakfast teas a bit bolder, edgier, and more complex.

Smooth. No astringency, which you all know is important for me. I added a wee splash of milk and stevia. Perfection in a cup. Now, I am ready to go back to school…new breakfast teas (notice the plural) in the cupboard.

Breakfast tea this morning. Added milk and stevia. This tea is good, but very one note. I think the Ceylon Black from DTL may be better than this one…but the jury is still out…
