Gene's Tasting Notes (about?):
When I first moved from other beverages to tea in the morning, my first stop was black leaf tea purchased at food store. I went from Irish Breakfast to English Breakfast to Darjeeling (with a brief visit to Earl Grey) and to Ceylon. I added milk and I was happy. However, until you’ve had a Ceylon of this quality, you haven’t really had Ceylon. This Ceylon tea has an extra helping of the fruity, floral richness of a fine traditional (for Europeans) black tea. The flavors bloom with a teaspoon of half-and-half to make a special breakfast treat, but this tea is also lovely on its own if not brewed too strongly. It is smoother than other full bodied teas. If you are hosting high tea, these leaves brew an impressive afternoon.
