Well, since today has officially been dubbed Unofficial Ceylon Day, I thought it time to pull this one out again. Typically, Ceylon just doesn’t do it for me but Teas Etc’s Ceylon has made me rethink my fairly anti-Ceylon view. So I thought it was time to revisit the only other Ceylon in my pantry. And the fact that it will lead to an additional decupboarding is just a bonus.
Yeah, still just not really feeling it. It doesn’t have the sweetness Teas Etc’s does, or the malty-esque notes. There’s a hint of fruity in it but it is overpowered by something that is akin to bitterness or tartness but is not quite there. A mild sourness perhaps? Maybe a nutty sourness? Something like that. Whatever it is it makes me think that this tea needs a little sugar and milk to taste properly balanced.

I like their Ceylon, too! It reminds me a lot of Sinharaja, honestly. I think the good Ceylons I’ve tried all seem to have a little bit of that berry-molasses quality that reminds me of Assams.
The Ceylon from Teas Etc., that is. >.>
Ah! I had forgotten that Sinharaja was a Ceylon! I have that in my pantry, too. Well, I suppose those are two Ceylons that make me rethink my anti-Ceylon view. So yes, I totally agree – those are two that do it right.
Ah! Sinharaja. Probably my favorite all time tea:)
