A lovely tea, whose dry leaves smell of sweet tobacco, aged wood, and crushed chestnut leaves in the fall. The taste is mild (for an Assam), sweet, and smooth. Although this is a fine tea (even after 2 years from harvest), I enjoyed the smell of the dry leaves more than the taste of the liquor!
First infusion – 3 g. per 8 oz water, 90 deg., 1:30 min.

I enjoy Sun Moon Lake , but mostly because it reminds me of some delicious Ceylons.
I find the SUL to be milder than a good Ceylon-sweeter, too. But there is a similarity between the two, for sure.
When I spoke of SUL above, I of course meant SML (sun Moon Lake).
SML is also a really nice “high quality” tea. If more tea estates in Ceylon tried to produce better grade teas….I think the difference between the two would be even less!
