Ceylon Lover's Leap Orange Pekoe

Black Tea by Elmwood Inn

Elmwood Inn Fine Teas owner Bruce Richardson recently visited the Lovers’ Leap Tea Estate in Sri Lanka and fell in love with this tea garden. This is a classic orange pekoe grade Ceylon black tea that is great all day long. Very smooth. (You do know that the tea grade Orange Pekoe has nothing to do with citrus fruit. If not, order a copy of The New Tea Companion.)

Had some to keep me awake while finishing a term paper (procrastination is never worth it, kiddies). The flavor was simple and straightforward, not too bitter, malty, or sweet. Just a simple, no-nonsense black tea.

Got it as a Christmas gift. I usually like stronger read but this one is so smooth and full. I love it! Its my new morning favorite!
