Morawaka Low Country Plantation Ceylon OP-1

Black Tea by KTeas

Fresh from the Grower!
Direct from the Morawaka Tea Estate in Ceylon (Sri Lanka)!
Orange Pekoe leaves tend to be long, thin, and wiry. It may seem counterintuitive, but these larger grades of leaves produce a lighter or paler liquor—but this is due to the fact that the leaves are whole, not broken and bruised to expose more of each leaf to the water. The taste is also lighter: more delicate than that of the Ceylon leaf’s broken compatriots.

Wow! This is really quite different from the other Morawaka estate Ceylon teas that I’ve tried (those being broken leaf, this is whole leaf). This is lighter and crisper in taste, while the others were actually quite a bit stronger and bolder. This tastes very clean and very much what I’d expect from a Ceylon, only fresher in taste. Very uplifting and makes a nice afternoon cuppa.

The sweetness here is more like honey than burnt-sugar or caramel.

Yummy, and goes great with shortbread cookies too!

I thought I already logged this but didn’t and I am backlogging now…so I will have to sip it again for a full review but I liked this very much! Nice black tea for mid morning!

This is medium strength type black tea. I can smell a tad of berry or fruit in the background. It’s semi-sweet and semi-woodsy. It’s somewhat darjeeling-esque in that sense, I suppose. It has a honey-like texture on the tongue. A treat!
