45 teas in my cupboard with this sipdown, guys!
I haven’t seen a number this low in a while and it is INVIGORATING! My cupboard is so clean! There are even more teas that are close to a sipdown. I don’t even know myself anymore.
This is a solid breakfast tea, even though I’m drinking it at 1 AM. My body doesn’t really notice caffeine so it doesn’t matter when I drink my black teas. Tonight’s cup is without additives and distinctly reminiscent of a Ceylon – bright and surprisingly not as astringent as I’ve alluded to in my past tasting notes. I make iced tea A LOT in the summer and do so by bringing water to a boil, adding the leaves and then cooling it down – and right now – this scent from this cup – is exactly what I’d smell when it was freshly brewed. Vaguely malty and citrusy, almost like bits of sunshine trapped in a liquid.
Ceylons make me so happy.
Based on my experience with this tea right now, I would definitely recommend. I have my favorite breakfast tea from Upton, but if you like Ceylons and you need a good breakfast tea that is strong and bright – this is your blend.
Absolutely hits the spot tonight.

Amaaaazing! Go you for getting your cupboard in order!
