Organic Ceylon Black Tea from Bigelow Tea

An honest mountain Ceylon with clean flavor and aroma. Slightly weak brew, however.

This is the first broken-leaf Ceylon from Upton that has been drinkable to me, and I'm surprised to find it completely lacking in the harshness that the other ones I've tried have had.
The aroma is totally unlike any black tea I have tried...it reminds me of rice and rice pastries. I like Upton's description "brigh...

A 'solid' Ceylon, I find it better than it's fannings grade counter part used in tea bags.
