Today’s cup is English Breakfast Tea from Taylors of Harrogate.

This blend of black teas from India, China and Sri Lanka brews up astringent and firm. The body remains light. Nicer than expected.

The aroma offers some hints at stone fruits such as peach, but only the subtlest of those comes through in the flavor.

Today’s cup is a Pure Ceylon Green Tea from Dils Tea / Tea Packs USA.

This Sri Lankan Green Tea (Sri Lanka used to be called Ceylon) is light, not grassy or vegetal. Sadly it’s a bit nondescript. Somewhere between a Dragonwell (Lung Ching) and a Kukicha to be honest. I’m not really sure what to think about it.

Today’s cup is a Jasmine Green Tea from Dils Tea / Tea Packs USA.

This Jasmine Green Tea is lightly floral with something resembling a light tipsiness as well.

The flavor is alright, not too bold, not too weak, but not quite a perfect balance either.

Today’s cup is a Peach Ceylon Black Tea from Dils Tea / Tea Packs USA.

This particular tea is very peachy. The flavoring is notably stronger than anticipated, though you could smell it through the packaging.

The aroma once brewed though was more subtle. The flavor in the tail was also more nuanced than in the initial start of the sip.

Something fruity today, a nice Pure Ceylon Strawberry tea from Dils Tea / Tea Packs USA.

This brew is fairly strong compared to what I was expecting.

The flavor and aroma, are fairly strong. The scent of strawberry is easily discernable even before you open the package.
