Premium Leaf Tea from Dilmah
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon65 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 4th, 2019
I'm reviewing the version of their loose-leaf "Premium" that comes in a 400g resealable plastic sack, which I got new/unopened at an estate sale. The leaves are very finely chopped, small, almost granular, as if they were part of a mechanical, one-size-fits-all process for both bagged and loose-leaf offerings. The wo...

Ceylon Black Tea (Orange Pekoe) High Grown from Frontier
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 22nd, 2019
I am a little confused about the labeling of this tea. It says it is high grown but the tea I have had from Ceylon that is grown at 6000 feet is usually a lot lighter in color and not quite as bold in taste. This tea is fairly dark in color and very bold in flavor. It actually taste like a blended tea or a lower grown ...

Peach & Passion Fruit from TEViVE
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon79 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 2nd, 2019
Tropical fruits, peaches, and flavored black teas all tickle my fancy, so this offering from a Dollar Tree store promised to be worthwhile, as long as they used natural flavors (check), and didn't skimp on the flavoring itself (check). [TEViVE could use more tea, however...more on that below.]
As with their other...
Ceylon, Lumbini Estate, FBOP from TeaSource
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Matara, Sri Lanka91 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 18th, 2019
This was an exceptional tea and without a doubt one of the best Ceylons I've sampled ever. I like Ceylons, but outside of the ones from teakruthi, it's rare I find ones that stand out. This is one of them!
The leaf looks very straightforward, made of large broken pieces of wiry leaf, uniform in texture and dark gray...

You can taste the quality of this delicious tea. Very good black Ceylon tea.

Upton Strathdon Estate CTC BP1 from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 19th, 2019
A good Ceylon tea that is similar to mainstream teas like Tetley, only better. A bit more body and smoke to it. I hope this is offered again at some point.

Premium Full Leaf Tea from Alghazaleen Tea (Do Ghazal)
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 20th, 2019
I picked this up in a Middle Eastern grocery near Detroit, MI. I bought a 250g pouch of tea that turned out to be double-bagged with an outer mylar pouch and a thin plastic bag inside. The tea is quite broken and in relatively small pieces, but quite aromatic even when dry. It smells of caramel and pastry, like slightl...

A smooth and pleasant Ceylon. Nothing out of the ordinary to my taste but perfectly enjoyable. Good with milk or lemon & sugar.

Steep English Breakfast Fair Trade Certified Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 10th, 2019
Without beating around the bush, this is a really good Sri Lankan/Ceylon tea. This seems to be one of the few brands of bagged tea that selected Sri Lankan tea for its flavors rather than for simply being "mild". This tea is remarkably similar in flavor to Ahmad and Alwazah branded Ceylon teas that are available from M...

Moringa Ginger from Miracle Tree
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 24th, 2018
I'll admit, I had never heard of Moringa when I received this tea, and had to do a bit of research to understand what I was drinking. Moringa, or more specifically Moringa Oleifera, is a plant which is known to have antifungal, antiviral, antidepressant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, it contains a rid...

Ceylon Extra Superior from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka89 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 18th, 2018
A delightful, mellow tea that was one of the best Ceylons I've tried in a while. A subtle tea that was better for calm meditation than as a pick-me-up.
Dry leaf has a beautiful, intact shape with long, wiry leaves in a dark purple-black color. It is only mildly aromatic, smelling lightly of malt and spice with a hin...
Kenilworth Ceylon from Coffee and Tea Exchange
Style: Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon75 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 18th, 2018
This is what I think of as the stereotypical Ceylon: wiry leaves that brew a cup with a smooth, full body and honey and citrus notes. It's not my favorite type of the (I generally prefer Chinese tea), but this is still good.

Ceylon Orange Pekoe from Twinings
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Matale, Sri Lanka (Dimbula)70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 29th, 2018
Good! Not particularly memorable, but good! I like the aroma! But it's just not as good as half of their other, popular black tea's.

Ceylon (Ceylon Orange Pekoe) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon75 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
May. 19th, 2018
A local Middle Eastern grocery store stocks several varieties of Ahmad tea, including this one.
The dry leaves are quite broken, with medium-small pieces. The aroma of the leaves is malty, but not particularly strong. Once the tea starts brewing, though, the aroma greatly intensifies. It's not as complex as some oth...
Pure Ceylon Tea (FBOPF "SP") from Alghazaleen Tea (Do Ghazal)
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon89 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 7th, 2018
Wow, this tea offers the most exceptional value of any tea I've ever tried. It was $6.50 for a pound, yet was better than many artisan teas I've had for over 6 times the price. Similar to Ahmad Tea's Ceylon (one of my favorites), but a smidge cheaper and I think I slightly prefer this one.
The leaf consists of fai...

A very pleasant Ceylon. Mild aroma and flavor, honey like after taste.

Jasmine Green Tea from Stassen Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 11th, 2018
I don't have a lot of experience with jasmine green tea.
First time drinking this was at a local Thai restaurant. It went very well with our Thai dinner. It was different enough to make me sit up and take notice. So when I ran into it at a local Asian market, I decided to give it a try as office coffee.
It comes...
Earl Grey Bravo from Adagio Teas
Style: Blue Flower Earl Grey – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon63 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 11th, 2018
Firstly, this tea is extremely citrusy and I try to blend it with some Ceylon(the base tea for this earl grey.) to make it less so. It tastes just like your average earl grey. And has a slight maltiness to it. It is very cheap though, which is always great. I only steeped this tea once and any other steeps seemed quite...

Earl Grey Tea from Tetley Tea

Dec. 17th, 2017
This will get the job done, but it's not much of a tea. I don't dislike it, but it's like drinking a big cup of Delaware. Thoroughly forgettable.

English Breakfast - Ceylon OP from Passenger Coffee
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Kandy, Sri Lanka82 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 10th, 2017
Another tea I ordered at Copper Cup in Lancaster, PA.
Rich and malty, full-bodied, but not overly tannic, with just the right amount of body and fruit. Aroma of malt and dried fruit. I find Kandy tends to produce teas that have a classic British character, and this tea is no exception...it tended a little more tow...
Ceylon Kenilworth from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Kandy, Sri Lanka84 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 1st, 2017
A rich,warming, complex black tea. I liked this a lot, although there are other black teas from Murchie's that I like more, like the Scottish Breakfast or Yunnan, in a similar or lower price range.
I have now tried at least five Ceylon teas from Kenilworth estate, all from different companies. This one tasted most ...
Cheericup Ceylon from Mark T. Wendell
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon95 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 20th, 2017
Got a sample of this online. It's a very dark brown, with some gold highlights. Brews up a clear dark red. I'm not so good at describing aroma and flavor, so I'll just say it smells and tastes like really good tea.
It's very smooth, just a hint of sweetness with no bitterness or astringency. It doesn't seem to have ...
Ceylon Black Tea (Orange Pekoe) High Grown from Frontier
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 26th, 2017
I found this tea in the bulk section of a health food store. I've never tried Frontier tea, mostly because I don't trust bulk jars. The jar lids were tight and the teas smelled fresh, though, so I bought an ounce each of several to try. Based on this first sample, I'll likely be buying more.
The dry tea smells stron...
Ceylon Orange Pekoe from Het Gouden Randje
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon66 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 25th, 2017
I asked the owner of Het Gouden Randje to recommend me a sweet black tea. Once it was cleared up that I wasn't interested in flavoured teas, I was offered this one, and I was charmed with the smell.
It smells warm and sweet with a hint of honey. If you don't use too much leaf, it doesn't easily get bitter even if yo...
Blissful Harmony from teakruthi
Style: Black and White Blend – Region: Matara, Sri Lanka90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 19th, 2017
Has an aroma of a mellow note of roasted cashewnut. The liquor is of dark copper color and tastes flowery and light. This is a common favorite in our collection and one of my 'go-tos'.
