This tea consist of green tea and black tea. Additionally, flower aroma is flavored. So, if you love relaxing time, this tea is the best choice for your satisfaction.

VariaTEA provided this one to me. As i’d seen her tasting note on this, and seeing the tea itself, i knew i’d need to keep the steeping short. I had this one, steeped at about a min. So my cup was decent. copper notes, with a little astringency. Not my all time favourite ceylon or anything, but decent. That being said, i’ve only found a couple ceylons i’ve ever truly fallen in love with. I can’t imagine brewing it for any longer as this is a really strong tea. I’m thinking this might be up omgsrsly’s alley.

thanks variaTEA!

My friend went to Indonesia last year and brought me a 6-pack of teas. Unfortunately they are all plain black ceylons which just isn’t my favorite. I decided I should grab one though and give it a try given this has been hanging out in my stash forever and has never been touched. Now that I am trying it, I am not liking it. This tea is brisk. Like grow-hair-on-your-chest strong. I will try one of the others but I have a feeling that these just aren’t for me :(.

An amazing and unique tea. At least from those that I’ve tried.

First, the smell. A very mellow fruity smell with a few stronger notes.

The taste differs even from sip to sip. It has a berry-like sweet side, which is relaxing and calm. But sometimes you can feel something a bit more sour, which adds some hints of citrus.

Overall, a great tea for calm evenings or to drink while reading a book. And the smell is so wonderful that I often smell it too much and the tea becomes cold :)

A tip : it is very easy to oversteep it, so keep the steeping time below 3 minutes, otherwise it may become bitter.
