I was at my cousin’s last night for dinner and drank some red wine which is something I hardly ever do. Sure enough, I woke up this morning with a headache and didn’t sleep so well last night. I don’t know what it is about red wine that bothers me, maybe the histamines? So I guess today will be a pretty mellow day unless I manage to go back to sleep!
I’m having a pot of this ceylon this morning along with a bowl of steel cut oats. This is one of the best ceylons I’ve ever had, it puts the others to shame that are still languishing in my cupboard. Such wonderful richness with cherry flavor and evergreen sort of notes. It’s very distinctive and I’m sure I will want more once this package is gone!

I have zero experience with Ceylon teas but I’ll definitely add this one to my wishlist. Sounds delicious! :D
You should try it some day! I am almost out or I would send you some… :)
Hah, that’s okay, I’m not taking in any tea right now anyway. Must get to 100! :P
I’ll be sure to ask you for other recommendations from Single Origin when I do end up ordering from them. :)
Good luck with 100! I should try to get below 200… :)
I don’t know if it is Single Origin or the estate, but both of their offerings from the Amba estate are the best Ceylons I’ve ever had.
I’ve had some really nice ones lately too. My current favourite is from Lumbini estate. It’s all cherries and chocolate.
Nice, and what is a good source for the Lumbini, yyz?
I wish we could take credit for this tea! Amba is an amazing tea estate, Beverly (the estate manager) goes to such extreme lengths to ensure a high quality product. She even sends me her own tasting notes for each batch of tea so I can do a comparison (along with weather info on the estate as well as news).
Amba is the reason that I created Single Origin Teas because there were no providers in the United States (now there are about 3-4). Amba creates micro batches of tea and really allows for the maximum amount of transparency about what goes on in the estate.
To a few of my wholesale clients I even sell Amba Coffee!
