My 9th tea from The Book of Tea, a Ceylon tea which I found very special! I was expecting this to be a strong black tea because the dry leaves had a pronounced malty aroma. But I was totally wrong; this had to be the mildest Ceylon I’ve tasted so far! It’s extremely smooth and I love the subtle flowery taste. Will take milk very well I am sure. What really struck me was that unlike many other Ceylon teas, this tea had hardly any astringent aftertaste… or perhaps more precisely, it seemed that there isn’t any aftertaste at all! It had such a clean finish that immediately after every sip I would be ready to taste another tea. Interesting! :)

Bio

A devilish girl who lives up to the post-80s youth stereotype – hedonistic, frivolous and rebellious – except I love traditional afternoon tea rather than a quick caffeine fix at Starbucks.

I make a living off others’ criminal activities. It’s a busy job and I really wish I could retire, so I can become a full-time afternoon tea connoisseur instead. :j

I love any tea that has nice scent, great flavour and lovely packaging. My current top favourite brands are Mariage Freres, T2, and THE O DOR. ;)

I am now practising mindfulness as a way of living. I decide to use tea tasting as a means to meditate in my daily life. My tasting notes here will therefore be my meditation notes :)

I’ve got no time to update my Pinterest and blog since I became a mom. Nevertheless, if you feel curious, you are most welcomed to visit these abandoned pages:
