I expected this to be a usual Ceylon. It's certainly more than that. As it is a high-grown tea, its taste is delicate and sweet. It has got a little of a honey-like /yummy!/ and woody /not yummy/ aroma. It IS Ceylon, but tastes a bit like very high-grown Nepal, because... well... it was grown "at over 6.000 feet" as an inscription on the tin says. Generally, it is a very high-quality and fine tea. However, I dislike that it quickly loses aroma after opening the tin. After about a week it had noticeably less aroma and after 3 weeks, while the tin was almost finished, the tea has lost even its sweetness and became very bitter. You can replace your English Afternoon with it and I advise doing so!
Preparaton characteristics /for most brews/: 5 m, 210°F.
NOTE!!! It is not a decaf tea despite what the descripation says!
