Whoa… This — this is definitely one of the best black teas I have ever had — and is by far the best Ceylon. It tastes like honey and cocoa. Reminds me slightly of an ice cream shop I went to as a child that sweetened its dark chocolate flavor with nothing but fresh honey. I used full on boiling water, and there is not even a sight hint of bitterness. Easiest black tea to drink without any milk that I’ve ever had — I tried it with and without, and milk doesn’t really add anything here.

Flavors: Dark Chocolate, Honey

Good Ceylon’s can be amazing. I find myself drinking more and more of them.

Glad the tea transported you back in time to a sweet cherished memory. I often tell people this is probably the best Ceylon tea you can have that is also produced very socially-responsibly. I will pass on your remark to the estate owner who is a good friend.

It’s fantastic, yes, but… Have you received my email? I’m still missing the Jin Jun Mei from this order. I’m not sure it ever shipped b/c I got the notification that had shipped within 15 seconds of my card being processed, which seems sorta…impossible. Anyway, I’ve never gotten it.

The Finest Brew Co.

Yes I did. I replied to you just a while back. I shall wait for your reply

Hm… Maybe it’s in a different folder. I’ll go look.

I drink black and oolong teas — and am trying to learn a little about puerh these days. I’m in it for the taste, not the appropriated Eastern mysticism. Not so good at keeping my cupboard up to date, let alone making a tea spreadsheet. I don’t really do sipdown reviews because then I’d be judging the tea based on the dust at the bottom of the bag. I think it’s nifty that there are tens of thousands of options involving just this one plant leaf.
