Ceylon Lumbini Rainforest FFEXSP - East India Company review.

New tea review for you guys, first I want to make clear I don’t this post to be a political rambling on what the company did in centuries gone and instead focus on the product instead.

Now this is a low grown Ceylon, grown at sea level which makes the tea particularly rich in flavour. Unlike the higher grown teas that are brisk and refreshing this is deep and dark, it has some similarities to an Assam but the main note is sweet like caramel with some stone fruit like dates. It’s incredibly delicious. The colour in the pot is a nice deep red and happily takes some milk. Brewed for 5min from a boiling kettle. There’s not astringency and I highly recommend.

I paid £25.18/100g on a Black Friday deal and they are usually £44.00 a caddy so got £20 off. I rate the tea a happy 10/10, it’s a delicious brew and a surprise from higher grown Ceylons which you’re more likely to find.
