type: black

origin: sri lanka

variety: ceylon

caffeine: strong

price level: $$$$

Bold, twisted leaf appearance and in the cup, reasonably coloury, bright and pungent. The larger pekoe leaf gives this tea less colour and strength than the Uva BOPF also offered on our Tea Menu although many may find the lighter taste of this tea preferable for it retains the Uva character. Very pleasant for drinking at any time of day, suitable for drinking without milk although let your taste dictate whether you add milk or not. Purists would of course condemn the addition of anything that may alter the flavour of this wonderful tea, and we would agree that one should savour the character and flavour first before adding milk or sugar. A great Ceylon tea for general consumption.
