Sri Lankan Black

The loose leaf format makes a real difference here—the second steep is just as rich as the first. I brewed a pot this morning and the deep color alone told me it was going to be a good cup. That cool mountain elevation really comes through in the smooth finish.

The deep, malty brew from this single estate is exactly what I've been craving—you can really taste the cool mountain climate in every cup. It steeps up a rich amber color that keeps its strength even after a second infusion. My afternoon tea ritual feels properly complete now.

The loose leaf format makes a huge difference—I brewed it in my teapot and got a deep, full-bodied cup with no bitterness, even after five minutes steep. This is my new go-to for a morning caffeinated kick.
