This is a pleasant enough tea, but I'm not finding anything spectacular about it. It's very light and refreshing as an iced tea, but I will use a LOT more tea next time I brew it. Quite smooth.

I'm a fan of strong Assam teas, but I'm not disappointed with the body of this Ceylon. It has enough body to give a full-mouth feel, yet has a nice sweetness to it as well. Stays smooth even if accidentally over-brewed.

My husband loves this ceylon. We agree it tastes a bit like roses, and also has some chocolate/bicuity notes. It is extremely fragrant and excellent with sugar or honey, but not with milk (like other ceylons).

Very good tea. It is smooth tasting with a slight fruity taste to it. It has a medium body.

Revisiting my sample, I have to amend my prior stingy review. I had a preconceived expectation, based on past experience of a different, more pungent Uva tea. (and maybe dead taste buds that day too?) Now I really like this! Bright and tasty. There is a definite sweetness, plus a dash of pepper and a wisp of lemon.

I found this tea to have very little body or taste. I am working my way through it by using it for iced tea and by blending it with some Assam for breakfast. It is very disappointing.

Sample tasting. I expected a more assertive flavor. Not as brisk and refreshing as I expected.


Reviewer: Mr. Chumbley,
This tea was used in a study because of its high level of polyphenols! I expect this tea would be good for those who enjoy ceylon, but also enjoy strong-tasting teas.


Reviewer: matt in charlotte,
this tea availed the most delightful suprise i think i've known. i bought it for a new milk and sugar afternoon tea, but after discovering it's self-sufficient magic, i couldn't bring myself to add a thing. a very spare teaspoon per cup, steeped for 3 minutes- not more- yields a medium/full bodied, slightly lemony ceylon with an extraordinary honeysuckle affect.


Reviewer: Harold,
While a flavorful tea, it had a little bit too much astringency for my taste.


Reviewer: adam in DC,
I really like this one. I've tried #304 and #318 and neither of them brewed anything as strong as I like. One level teaspoon, three minutes, some milk and sugar, and that's one great cup of tea.
