I was really looking forward to a good cup of English Breakfast. I LOVE Ceylon Tea. In fact, I had already had a few good cups earlier in the day. Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything that good about this one.
The dry leaf didn’t have any interesting aromas. Broken Orange Pekoe, I suppose. You can see tea stem and leaf in the finished product. It’s uniform.
Cup brewed up to a darker red colour. No interesting brewed aromas. I noticed a little bit of dryness on the tongue.
I even brewed the second brewings both together to try to increase the strength of the brew. Still nothing amazing. Sheesh.
The thing that galls me about it is that Ceylon teas are not expensive, so they should be able to provide a flavourful cup. Blending should make that easier too.
