Ceylon Heritage en vrac

Brewed a pot this morning and the leaves unfurl beautifully, giving a deep, malty cup that holds up to a second steep without turning bitter. It's my new afternoon ritual, plain and simple.

The loose leaf unfurls beautifully in the pot, and the second steep is just as rich as the first, which I wasn't expecting from a black tea. It's got that deep, malty warmth that makes a rainy afternoon feel like a proper ritual.

The two-monsoon climate really comes through in the cup—it's got that depth you don't find in everyday black tea, and the leaves brew up a deep amber with a smooth, non-bitter finish. I've been making it my afternoon ritual for two weeks now and it hasn't disappointed once.
