First off, I should say I LOVE ceylon! I also despise anything remotely licoricey. So with that in mind…
This is the perfect balance of sweet coconutty, chocolatey, creamy goodness, with just enough of the anise undertone to round it out. Fantastic as a latte too!
I’ve been struggling for weeks now to keep this tea a secret, because the wonderful folks at head office sent me an incredibly generous sample after I sent in an email asking for their input for a tea-related show name for my pony, Java. Well, Java grew quite the fan club at DT HQ, and among the name suggestions was “Ceylon Star”. I really liked it, and it suits him, because he is very sweet but still has a sassy edge to him, he has a big white star on his forehead, and we both enjoy a nice cup of ceylon. So the lovely folks at head office sent us some of this “secret tea” to try, and both Java and I fell in love! Thus, “Ceylon Star”, the pony, was born! haha!
Now DT just needs to release some more ceylon ;)
Could it be, no way, a new tea?!
Our December Tea of the Month!
Java and I can’t wait!!!!
I hate anise and everything like it… this might be the first new tea in a while that I don’t purchase! :(
Looking forward to coming in this week to try this one. It sounds interesting. I was curious in finding out what the TOTM was and this doesn’t cease to intrigue me further. Love the name.
