CEYLON SILVER STRIPED
A stunning and extremely rare Sri Lankan black tea that has beautiful silver-haired tea leaf buds exhibiting a level of skill and artistry in the manufacturing process rarely seen outside of China. The aroma is rich and sweet and the delicate flavor is smooth and refreshing.
Company description not available.
Small leaves, some with silver tips. Straight I find this too astringent to be enjoyable. With milk, the astringent edge is muted. Tea is slightly smoky and kind of green tasting.
I’m not going to rate this because I prefer teas without additives. Mostly this note is for me to remember not to buy Ceylon black teas in the future.
Flavors: Astringent, Green, Smoke
I have that problem with Ceylon tea. Too astringent unless there’s something (i.e. milk) added to the cup. However, I prefer teas where I can enjoy them straight.
I never used to like Ceylons – same reason too astringent. Then I found the ones from Amba estate and the Ceylons from What Cha. Completely different to my tastebuds.
Low grown Ceylons are my favorite. High elevation Ceylons tend to have a high lemon edge or astringency that I don’t enjoy. I dislike Uva Highlands, but Kenilworth Ceylon is very enjoyable to me.
