The copper orange infusion has a heavy aroma of smoke with a hint of cinnamon. The taste is smoky with cinnamon notes and a long, smoky finish.
Steeping the first infusion for 2-3 minutes produced the best results for my preferences, though a shorter steeping time will still have good results if you prefer something mellower. Reducing the steeping time to 1 minute following the initial infusion resulted in full smoky flavor with no astringency. This tea was flavorful throughout three infusions and a delight for people like myself who favor smoky teas.
Kaley Tea is located in a forested, lowland region of southern Sri Lanka, adjacent to the Sinharaja Forest Reserve, a tropical rainforest and UNESCO World Heritage Site. They specialize in organically grown teas plucked from 100-year-old tea trees and hand-processed in limited batches.
