My 9th tea from The Book of Tea, a Ceylon tea which I found very special! I was expecting this to be a strong black tea because the dry leaves had a pronounced malty aroma. But I was totally wrong; this had to be the mildest Ceylon I’ve tasted so far! It’s extremely smooth and I love the subtle flowery taste. Will take milk very well I am sure. What really struck me was that unlike many other Ceylon teas, this tea had hardly any astringent aftertaste… or perhaps more precisely, it seemed that there isn’t any aftertaste at all! It had such a clean finish that immediately after every sip I would be ready to taste another tea. Interesting! :)
