Still 5 Stars |
5/24/2021 |
| Just came across some notes I made on this Ceylon from S&V: Light, Mild, Clean, Pretty Amber and Low Astringency. In other words, another 5-Star
S&V Ceylon. |

Wide Flavor Variety with Brew Time |
4/18/2020 |
| Many teas vary on how long they brew. When the package says 3 minutes, it means 3 minutes for a sweet, delightful cup. We tried a 5 minute brew and the flavor changed completely. Lots of tannins and the bitterness came out at 5 minutes. Wonderful at 3 minutes and nearly undrinkable (to our palettes) at 5. Long leafed variety made putting it in mesh tea balls a little challenging. All things said, I liked it at 3 minutes enough to get more and watch my brew time. |

The Best of Ceylon |
11/1/2019 |
| The Vithanakande Estate offering from S&V is likely the best tea that can be purchased from the region. It retains the smooth, bold, and somewhat malty flavors Ceylon is known for, while adding a bit of complexity. When brewed right (1 even tsp, no more than 4 minutes at boil) the liquor is a deep reddish color, and has just a hint of nutty character. While I prefer this later in the day when the taste buds have really awoken, it would be enjoyable as a breakfast tea. Takes a tsp of sugar just fine, but that's all I'd add. |

Just finished this pound of tea |

| I am not a person that is good at describing things, so all that I can say about this tea is that it is super good, I make 2 gallons at a time for iced tea, this tea is great for that because it is a strong enough tea that I dont have to use much of it, I will order more at some time. |

My favorite-- |
11/28/2018 |
| I am an Assam drinker, but this is every bit as good as well as strong. And the big bonus is the price of it here. Other shops sell this for a ridiculous price. Just another reason for being a loyal customer |

| One of my favorite teas I choose time and time again. Perfect on it's own. Feels almost heavy, but in a good way. |

Six stars |
3/14/2018 |
| This is a fabulous tea - I would give it six stars if I could. Very smooth and not too dark with a slightly sweet finish. I was amazed when I first tried it what an interesting cup of tea this selection makes (and great value, to boot). Currently my favourite tea for the afternoon. |

Very elegant, rarefied cup of tea... |
12/23/2016 |
| A wonderful, crisp tea, still bold and big like other Ceylon teas but not earthy. Even the last sip from my cup (where with most teas I tend to notice a touch of sweetness and some dried fruit flavors) finished completely dry and clean. Thats what I mean by rarefied. Its like this tea was distilled down to nothing but its pure tea flavor. Unlike most teas it isnt reminiscent of other things, its just itself. |

A really lovely tea |
9/6/2016 |
| Im so glad I stumbled across this one! It truly is exceptionally smooth, with a gentle hint of maltiness. I find it perfect for my morning and afternoon tea breaks at my desk. |
