80

Fresh stock from a small specialist company that focuses on Ceylon Single Estate teas.
Leaves: Fairly small/dark with a lovely sweet cocoa powder aroma
Nose: When brewed,mild ,sweet grass,cocoa dust and a hint of light tobacco,more lemon verbana on 2nd steep.
Taste:Mild with a grassy sweetness, medium bodied,becomes more floral as it cools,dash of fresh lemon.
Finish:Nice lingering cocoa aftertaste.
Good for two steeps this is a pleasant,easy going tea.Not a tea that will ever get top ratings as it’s not hugely complex but the sort of brew you can go back to andf enjoy again and again when you just want a well made refreshing drink.

Brought up on strong English tea with milk. Recently getting more interested in black tea following a visit to Sri Lanka and a bit of web browsing.
Ratings: Below 60 Not good
60-70 Good solid tea
70-80 Getting interesting
80-90 A bit special
90-100 Outstanding
There’s a time and a place for any tea above 60 which makes the number thing a bit of a mockery…
