Had a friend, native to Sri Lanka, bring this back from a visit home. It was very finely processed and easy to over do. Brews almost instantly…by the time I could fill the ingenuiTEA brewer with hot water and set down the pot, it appeared done. Smells like a good ceylon, but is not coming across with much kick. Light in the mouth, no astringincy. Sort of Ho-Hum. Will wait for a second taste before rating.
I’m not much active on Steepster because I haven’t been trying a lot of different tea lately. I have been buying M.T. Wendell’s Cheericup Ceylon because it is my favorite. That said, gifts of tea drop in every once in awhile and I try to bring my impressions here.
I am unashamedly stealing this rating description from Morgana.
95-100 A once in a lifetime experience; the best there is
90-94 Excellent; first rate; top notch; really terrific; will definitely buy more
80-89 Very good; will likely buy more
70-79 Good; would enjoy again, might buy again
60-69 Okay; wouldn’t pass up if offered, but likely won’t buy again
Below 60 Meh, so-so, iffy, or ick. The lower the number, the closer to ick.
