Ceylon from Basilur

this IS a smooooooooooooooth black! thanks for the sample, Kasumi no Chajin – sensei ^^

it is my first pure ceylon tea and i like it. it is not too strong (i didnt let it steep for the full 3 minutes).

the liquor is a beautiful golden brown (in my teaspoon) under the yellow light at our dinner table ^^’

i will have to note the aroma next time! (stands up for a resteep)

(edit)
ok, aroma is dark, rich, kinda bitter-ish but in a good way, like coffee (altho the aroma is not coffee-like, only the bitterness)
taste is the same! reminds me of toast…?

Bio

Chai was my first love, and later fell hard for Earl Grey. Will always have a soft spot in my heart for tisanes. Read my tea love story in my wordpress blog (link below).

Relatively new to the world of loose leaf but not to tea, passionate, eager to learn, and certified tea addict. I have a long way to go but oh, how I want my friends to get into tea too! I want to offer good teas at good prices so if you want to try some samples, check out my blog :)
