Very nice. I find it a bit drier and smokier than run-of-the-mill Ceylon.
I would have preferred a tin caddy to the glass jar.

How important is brewing technique?
Brewing is an art! The right technique can elevate your tea experience. Temperature and steeping time are crucial – too hot or too long can make tea bitter. Generally, use cooler water for delicate teas like white or green, and hotter water for robust teas like black or herbal. A gentle steep brings out the intricate flavors and aromas. We encourage you to experiment and find your perfect brew!
