Kirkoswald Estate Dimbula Black Tea is from Sri Lanka, in the Bogo Valley of the Dimbula region. Grown at 4000 – 4500 feet above sea level, it has a good leaf appearance, with a full bodied lovely flavor. The cup is coppery bright with golden notes.
Tended with care on the lush gardens of Kirkoswald, this distinctive Ceylon has the deep floral aroma and sweet notes that characterize the very best teas of Sri Lanka. Drenched by monsoons through the late summer months, teas from this region are renowned for their robust flavors and bright liquor. Add milk and enjoy this rich brew as the ideal mid-morning or afternoon tea.

What-ChaContinuing my exploration through Ceylon and Indian tea, I have this offering from Sheffield spice and tea. I started by brewing this with 2 gram at just under 212 in a glass pot for about 3 minutes. I got from it a dark red and very clear liquor.
The infusion has an aroma of malt, chocolate, dark fruit. For brewing it so long its surprisingly fruity and low on astringency and bitterness. Sipping it produced many of the same flavors, there was just a hint of astringency on the tail end. Having gotten started in Chinese tea, im surprised at how different the blacks are. There chocolate flavor is so intense in the Indian and Ceylon tea. I wonder if this is difference in the roasting or oxidation, or just the terroir.
This is an excellent tea for adding milk and sugar, I always drink my tea straight unless Im doing a chai blend and this makes an Excellent chai tea.
I recommend this tea for anyone looking for a classic British style tea.
