I have received another tea bag (pictured, not by me though) from Izzy, so again, as always, thank you.
Loolecondera is, apparently to Czech MlesnA distributor, a very first Ceylon plantation, where in 1867 James Taylor started to grow tea. They offer this tea even in loose leaf, so I have edited the listing accordingly.
Anyway, I expected somehow basic black tea and it is exactly that. Steeping for two minutes were alright, and I get that typical black tannic, unflavoured tea. There is no malt, nor too strong tannic taste. It was just a tea-ish tea. What I have expected from BOPF anyway, right? Steeps super quickly and doesn’t deliver anything unique or unexpected.
Okay.
Buying a 100g tin for 10,59 USD? Nope. It looks nice though. They have majority of their teas, but the price seems too high for me and quality not that worth.
Flavors: Tannic, Tea

LOL! If I were to write tasting notes, they would ALL say what you said, Martin-‘This was tea-ish tea.’
White Antlers and Martin – when I ask my husband what he thinks of a tea, he says, “It is hot and has tea-like qualities.”
Once he drank a premium dragonwell and said, “Oh, this is GOOD!” (Several beats of silence and then….) “it’s expensive, isn’t it?”
Me: nods
I would like something a little more than tea-ish tea. I know it is sometimes hard, but this was really just that. There wasn’t malt, or red grapes (or wine) notes, which I sometimes notice in black teas. Nor citrusy note of Ceylon blacks! Just a boring, simple, black tea.
ashmanra LOL! Ashman is a guy after my own heart!
