drank Ceylon Vithanakande BOP1 by Five O'Clock Tea & Coffee Shops
412 tasting notes

Dry leaves smell with spices, fruit and honey. A bit unusual for a black tea but really charming.
Very warming aroma after steeping, with honey, a bit of nuts, sweet bread and spices. Very complex and attractive. Malty and caramelly flavour, very slight sweetness, no astringency.
Really exquisite tea. I certainly didn’t expect that much.

Flavors: Bread, Caramel, Fruity, Honey, Malt, Nuts, Spicy

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 4 min, 15 sec 4 g 10 OZ / 300 ML

I was on the fence about picking up the Ceylan New Vithanakande from Camellia Sinensis, but perhaps my next order!

I drink tea almost all the time.

However, my tea drinking can be divided into two main categories.

1. I work a lot at my computer and when I work, I need to always have tea at hand. That’s when I drink bag varieties, mostly black blends, often corporate ones. They need to be at least drinkable, of course, but I don’t focus on the taste much, though I don’t go below a certain level…

2. When I read (and read a lot) or when I’m just relaxing, I savor tea. That’s when the better varieties come into play, that’s when I use leafs instead of bags, that’s when I really focus on what I’m drinking.

I’m Polish, temporarily living in Copenhagen, Denmark.
