“I had a sample of this that I’d planned to make over a couple of tastings, but it ended up as an unintentional sipdown. I was making 3 cups in the Breville and that left only enough for about one...” Read full tasting note

“There doesn’t seem to be much to say about any orange pekoe – I grew up with it as the standard “just plain tea.” That said, this is certainly a very good one, and it’s the first one I finished...” Read full tasting note
“The flavor of this tea sits well on all parts of the tongue. One of the few black teas that is good plain or with milk and sugar.” Read full tasting note

Description

The Mahagastota estate is located in the Nuwara Eliya region of Sri Lanka. This estate is also known as “Lovers Leap”, after a story about a Kings daughter who ran away with her lover to this location and jumped off a high rock wall. This Orange Pekoe has a quality rating of FBOP (Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe), and has a pleasant flowery aroma, followed by the typical malty Ceylon flavoring. Brew this tea to drink hot or cold, and blend with lemonade to make a unique iced tea. We recommend that this tea is consumed without milk, and only sugar to taste. This quality orange pekoe tea works as an afternoon or dinner tea, but can be enjoyed at any time of the day!
