Thank you, Sophie and Laurent, for sending this to me as a sample! :-)

This is a lovely, dark breakfast tea. The dry leaf scent is fragrant and malty. The smell of the liquor is like dark green beans, sweetly vegetal and slightly earthy. It has a soft, satin-y mouthfeel. As it cools, the malt and fruitiness becomes more prominent. I can

What sets this apart from other ceylons (or just a lot of breakfast teas) is that it is amazingly smooth. I kept bracing myself for a gritty mouthfeel and drymouth after drinking because my brain associates that type of taste with those sensations, but the bad stuff never came at all. It was lovely!

I run, I sing, I drink tea. That’s the best description I have of me.

I’ve always enjoyed tea, but have just started trying out a lot more loose teas and varied brands. I’m really excited about a site like steepster so I can read about what people think about different teas.

Oh and I really hate Lipton tea. There’s something just awful about it and I can’t understand why nearly every local diner only has Lipton.

Also I’m on the search for a full-bodied, fruity blackberry tea. So if you have any suggestions feel free to throw them my way! :-)
