I like this Ceylon. It’s so rich and even a little malty, quite similar to what I’d expect from an Assam, only without the harsher tones of the Assam. Very smooth and quite pleasant, this would make a superb breakfast tea (even if you have your breakfast at 9:30 pm!)
Ceylon Lover's Leap OP
Sri Lanka, Nuwara Eliya region, February – March, 6000 to 8500 feet above sea level, cool nights, dry weather, sunny days, all combine to force the tea bush to expend its energies into the new growth giving the tea its best flavor. Lover’s Leap is named such as a traditional story that on this estate the tea is grown near a cliff that is said lovers threw themselves off the edge when they were not allowed to marry one another. We are confident that after enjoying the pleasures of this tea, such a drastic step would never enter your mind, quite the contrary… “Let’s brew another!”
