Advent Tea Calendar Day 8
Perennial Tea Room
Type: Black
Origin: Sri Lanka, Pettiagalla Estate
Product Description: An elegant tea with a beautiful golden liquor. A smooth and mild taste which is slightly fruity and refreshing make this an excellent afternoon tea.
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 3 minutes
The dry leaves have an aroma of sweet dried dates and oak.
The red-orange infusion has a warm, fruity aroma with elements of citrus and brown sugar. The taste is similar to carmelized sugar with moderate astringency and a long finish.
As this is a high-grown Ceylon with milder characteristics than low-grown teas, I would recommend trying the first steeping without milk. It has a lot of character that you wouldn't want to miss. If you do choose to go with a second steeping, the flavor is still bold, though without the subtleties of the first steeping.
This tea was purchased by me.
