Every Charleston Tea Plantation variety I have tried has been good quality, but without a lot of heft. In this case, that worked well, as I got distracted (who, me? Oh, look, a bunny!) and left this bag to steep a good 8-10 minutes. Not a lick of bitterness. Instead, it’s a very pleasant, Ceylon-ish base with genuine cinnamon stick flavor, not red-hot cinnamon.

The tagline of my favorite boss ever was, “I’d rather have a work horse than a show pony.” This tea is a gentle workhorse; a fine addition to the stable.
