drank Dilmah Medawatte by Dilmah
1837 tasting notes

I am still alive, just went for two days visit my friend in different region, we hiked about 20 km in the mountains (in one day). Pretty nice days.

I got this tea bag in “big bags section”, so it is probably quite old.

“Watte means Estate, Medameans Mid” — that’s what they claim on back side of tea bags.
Mid Grown (2000-3000 feet altitude)
Another statements: “Strong, pungent & full-bodied. In the style of a Shiraz!”

I don’t recall drinking Shiraz wine, but whatever. Tea brewws dark mahogany colour, celar and strong tannic aroma. Tea itself isn’t much different. It’s quite tannic, but as well nicely malty, strong taste and overall very “tea like”. Not very complex in taste, but caffeine booster for sure (I need it though). And overall nice and enjoyable. Fresh would be better.

Flavors: Malt, Tannic, Tea

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 2 min, 30 sec 10 OZ / 300 ML

I think Shiraz might be the name of a wine flavored iced cream Youngest had in…Poland? Somewhere? She loved it, whatever kind it was! Maybe Youngest will check in and let us know!

Good to see you back!

Oops. Nope. She says the ice cream was Malaga ice cream. I was wrong!

Shiraz is called Syrah here in California. Maybe you’ve had Syrah? Also if you change the g to k in that ice cream, you get a fun Greek word.

@derk-The Brits would call that a ‘tosser.’ lol

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Photographer now and then. Postcrossing and geocaching member. Very curious person. Logistics student (should finish in June 2021).

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
