I have received another tea bag (pictured, not by me though) from Izzy, so again, as always, thank you.

Loolecondera is, apparently to Czech MlesnA distributor, a very first Ceylon plantation, where in 1867 James Taylor started to grow tea. They offer this tea even in loose leaf, so I have edited the listing accordingly.

Anyway, I expected somehow basic black tea and it is exactly that. Steeping for two minutes were alright, and I get that typical black tannic, unflavoured tea. There is no malt, nor too strong tannic taste. It was just a tea-ish tea. What I have expected from BOPF anyway, right? Steeps super quickly and doesn’t deliver anything unique or unexpected.

Okay.
Buying a 100g tin for 10,59 USD? Nope. It looks nice though. They have majority of their teas, but the price seems too high for me and quality not that worth.

Flavors: Tannic, Tea

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 2 min, 0 sec 10 OZ / 300 ML

LOL! If I were to write tasting notes, they would ALL say what you said, Martin-‘This was tea-ish tea.’

White Antlers and Martin – when I ask my husband what he thinks of a tea, he says, “It is hot and has tea-like qualities.”

Once he drank a premium dragonwell and said, “Oh, this is GOOD!” (Several beats of silence and then….) “it’s expensive, isn’t it?”
Me: nods

I would like something a little more than tea-ish tea. I know it is sometimes hard, but this was really just that. There wasn’t malt, or red grapes (or wine) notes, which I sometimes notice in black teas. Nor citrusy note of Ceylon blacks! Just a boring, simple, black tea.

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Photographer now and then. Postcrossing and geocaching member. Very curious person. Logistics student (should finish in June 2021).

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
