Orange Pekoe de Ceylan - Gros

The long wiry leaves are what sold me — they unfurl beautifully in my teapot and give a bold cup with that astringent bite I actually crave in the morning. Sweet finish lingers just enough.

Switched from my usual breakfast blend and this black tea's bold astringency is exactly what I needed to wake up — that sweet finish at the end lingers nicely without any bitterness.

The long wiry leaves are what sold me — you can tell it's a small batch just by looking at them. Brewed it strong this morning and that sweet finish lingers way longer than the bagged stuff I used to drink.
