I like it. Very good taste, color and intensity. Good to mix with other flavours.

Wow. This Ceylon OPA both really impressed me with its quality and provided a new tea drinking experience. OPA is the largest leaf size available from Shri Lanka and probably from most places most of the time. The dry leaf is HUGE, so big that 1 lbs of this tea doesn’t even fit in the Ahmad 1 lbs tins. This is possibly the largest leafed black tea I’ve had. The only thing close was a Keemun Mao fang, appropriate since some aspects of this tea, such as the fruity dry leaf scent, reminded me of Keemun. Ahmad says this brews a tea of light colour and flavour but that is only true for short steeps. Due to the large leaf the tea infuses rather slowly so I really recommend a longer steep. I like 6-9 minutes and this produces a dark, richly aromatic brew. The aroma is complex, fruity and somewhat malty. Dried fruit, particularly raisins, combined with a certain roastedness. Taken straight, the flavour is fruity, rich, and moderately strong. Although lighter than an Assam, the tea has a certain intensity to it. There is a pleasing light astringency and something of a tang in the finish, but overall the tea is quite smooth. It takes milk well, but not too much mind, resulting in a rich and velvety cuppa. I don’t usually sweeten Ceylon but I found this one took sugar remarkably well with milk. It also makes outstandingly refreshing cold brew iced tea. Overall I love this tea and always feel good after drinking it. That is true for me and most teas but it seemed particularly so with this one for some reason. I recommend this to all Ceylon fans and anyone who loves a quality black tea.

Un té delicioso que tiene excelente aroma y a buen precio.
