Robust Ceylon tea |
10/22/2018 |
Unlike some of the other Ceylon teas I have tried, this one has a lot more body which I prefer. It comes with a good dose of tannins, but not in an overwhelming way. I detected some citrus notes (rather than the floral notes other have described). Either way, it's a fine tea if you like your Ceylon on the 'stronger' side. |

Tried this one on a whim -- glad I did! |

Rich, malty, fragrant. Light-coloured in the cup belying its bold, assertive flavour. Unusual for a Ceylon -- more like an Assam but much smoother. Delightful morning or afternoon. (We enjoy our teas without additives so cannot speak to how it handles sugar or milk, but I'd guess it could stand up well to either.) |

This is the best tea Ive tasted from Simpson & Vail, with a lovely aroma and an unexpected smoothness. Perfect. I will definitely be ordering more. |

Floral, but not TOO floral... |
12/22/2016 |
This is a really interesting tea. It has some of the floral taste and aroma of a Darjeeling, but it is clearly a Ceylon tea, earthy and robust. If (like me) you find Darjeeling a little too flowery and light, this tea is a great opportunity to enjoy some of those floral flavors as accents of a strong, satisfying cup. Nice for afternoons or anytime it can be appreciated on its own. |

Sri Lanka memories.... |

For my taste....this is THE Sri Lankan tea. For years I searched for the Ceylon tea I loved to drink when I lived in Sri Lanka almost 30 years ago. This is the closest one yet. Excellent! |

Ceylon Blackwood Estate Black Tea is big on aroma and flavor...what more could a Ceylon tea enthusiast want from a cup of tea? When I drink this delicious tea, I feel like I am in a perfumed garden. Sheer delight! |

Delicious Bold Tea |
6/6/2013 |
This tea is one of the best I have ever tasted. It is bold, strong, and slightly sweet but in no way caramelized. It is on the top of my list to buy more of as I only bought one ounce to see if I liked it. It is really good. |

One of my favorites |

I keep various teas from Assam and Darjeeling on hand, but I also have to keep a supply of Blackwood Estate Organic tea from Ceylon. It has a bright, clean, almost flowery taste, and it is one of my favorites for afternoon tea. |
